Next appt:  September 27th.
 
This week has been okay... I was really sick Tuesday night - Thursday night and am recovering from the flu/a cold.  During that time I ended up dehydrated and was pretty miserable.  Today I met with the dietician and she said everything is on track with the pregnancy.  She would like to see me gain 15 lbs during the pregnancy... Pretty sure the pint of Ben and Jerry's I just ate will help with that ;)  I LOVE the video we have of the baby moving and watch it at least a couple times a day.  Our next ultrasound isn't until November 2nd and I hope I can wait that long! :)
