Yesterday was our 22-week appointment, and everything went very well. Baby's heartbeat was 145bpm, the doctor assured me that my cholesterol reading was "beautiful" and nothing to worry about (or try to change wth more eggs/butter/fat), and they confirmed that I've gained 6 lbs this past month for a grand total of 14lbs weight gain, which is right where I should be. Next month's appointment will be more eventful, as I'll take the glucose test to see if I've acquired gestational diabetes (which I wouldn't doubt with the amount sugar I've been eating lately!), and I'll also get another ultrasound to measure the baby's growth. Can't wait!
Yesterday Jared and I both had the day off, so he was able to join me for the appointment, which was nice. We also had planned to go ice skating, but since it was downpour raining, we spent the day shopping instead. I treated myself to a few new maternity pieces, a couple of which were long overdue new undergarments :) I don't go back to work until Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to finishing up my shopping for Jared, baking, and enjoying the holiday weekend over the next few days!
