Just got back from a routine prenatal Dr. visit and I'm thrilled to report that I'm healthy and all factors indicate the baby is healthy too. When you can't see what's going on inside your, or verify every little twinge of pain or movement, it's comforting that the doctor can give you an all clear. We met our fourth doctor of the group, there are six total, and he seemed to be the comedian of the bunch. He commented that I had the blood pressure of a 10 year old (a good thing). He also gave Joe a laugh when he pointed out that I left the M (medium) tag on my shirt. "Yup, she's pregnant," he retorted.
But back to the blood pressure and other good healthy stuff. Another healthy point? I've gained 11.5 lbs. in 22 weeks. I'm within the averages and not worried about gaining too much. I attribute that to a healthy diet and plenty of exercise pre-pregnancy. I have been worried about not exercising enough during the pregnancy, but never realized how important a healthy body before hosting this little miracle could be.
After such a positive visit, I'm determined to focus on fitness again. It's not just the goal of having less weight to drop post-baby. It's the thought that every positive choice I make for my diet and fitness directly impacts my little one. And if her frequent activity is any indication of her energy level, I'll have a running budy before I know it.
