Baby's Heartbeat!

Our 7 month check up went swimmingly. Baby had a perfect heartbeat (see video above) and other than the fact that he's draining me of iron like a happy little vampire (making me mildly anemic), we're on track for everything. Gestational diabetes was a negative. I've put on 20 pounds of weight and the Doc is quite pleased with that (though I would prefer a wee bit less).

Our next Dr's visit is in a week for our Growth Check Sonogram. Since my friend, Leiden Factor, may cause minor tears in my placenta (which would slow or stop baby's growth), we get at least one extra sonogram (if not two).
