23 Week Doctor Appointment
I just got home from my 23 week doctor appointment. It was very uneventful. My blood pressure was 117/74...I'm not sure why my blood pressure actually lowers during pregnancy. I thought it usually goes up. I have gained 5 pounds since my 19 week check up. When I went at 20 weeks due to contractions I had gained 4 pounds in that one week alone. Not sure what happened. So, only 1 pound in 3 weeks isn't too shabby, especially with traveling this past week and having Taco Bueno last night for dinner. Dr. Jacoby measured my uterus for the first time this pregnancy and I'm right on for 23 weeks. I'm hoping it stays like that for the rest of my pregnancy. With Preston, at 35 weeks I was already measuring like 41 weeks or something crazy like that. He is also sitting breach which I'm not worried about at all. I know he will flip but with being a c-section he can be in any position he likes. I go back in another 4 weeks and will have a sono at that appointment. He will check on the cyst and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be gone! Oh, and they also gave me the yummy glucose drink to drink before my next appointment. I hate drinking that stuff!! I think I read that there is 50 mg of sugar in it. I always feel like I'm going to puke after drinking it...way too much sugar for me!!! The nurse told me they switched from the orange flavor to the fruit punch and it is much better. We will see on June 24th. Should make for an interesting sonogram too for him to have that much sugar. Hopefully he will stay still long enough for her to get the images she needs.

Ohhh I miss being pregnant. Sounds like a great check up. Hope everything continues like that for another 17 weeks?!? Seems so long when you put it that way? Can't wait to meet my newest nephew.
