We had our routine doctor's check up this morning. Daddy Jarbs came with me. Everything is still looking good. My blood pressure was 108/60 which was normal. My weight gain is still in check. The doctor measured my fundal height which is a measure of the size of the uterus to assess fetal growth and development. It is right where it should be. We were also able to hear Baby Jarbs' strong heartbeat. She moved a lot prompting the doctor to call her "little rascal" :-). We also told the doctor that Baby Jarbs has been hiccuping a lot. She said that it's a good sign that Baby Jarbs is doing that as early as now. It's a sign of a healthy baby. Hiccups prepare the baby's lungs for healthy respiratory function after birth. Yes, we got a strong breather :-).
My next doctor's appointment is in 4 weeks and will have my glucose tolerance test then. Ick!
