Quick Update...More to Come Tuesday

We are officially 26 1/2 weeks today, WooHoo! I have started gaining weight, which my doctor was pleased with, depending on where you go from I am 9 pounds up from my starting weight or 17 up from my lowest weight (still about 11 pounds down from my post Korea weight), all in all not too bad. On the bright side my "fat" pants from before pregnancy still fit, which is kind of comforting. I guess since I still weigh less then I did when I first returned from Korea that is to be expected though.
We went and saw the specialist today I go for my glucose test on Tuesday. The specialist told us the girl is definitely thriving, she weighs about 2 pounds! She is already head down and has a nice strong heart (he made sure to tell us this about 4 times!). As for me I was told to take it easy, no more elliptical but I can still go walking as long as I take it EASY. She was very cooperative with him (he even said so) and we got several really good head shots so maybe that means she will be an easy going baby, fingers crossed! Right now I am just praying for whoever he saw before us, I was the first appointment but he had emergency before us and caused him to about an hour late (needless to say Greg was about to go NUTS, not a good start for his first appointment with me, this is the first time he has actually been home for my appointments to go with me during this whole process). The emergency was a girl 23 weeks pregnant with a ruptured membrane, not good (as she was going to have to be transported to a different hospital and not really sure what all else). I am hoping everything works out well for her because I could not even fathom what I would do if something happened to me at this point or that point in a pregnancy.
