Doctor's Appointment

We had another doctor's appointment yesterday (Feb 9th). It was a very quick appointment. We got to the hospital a little after 2pm and left about 2:45p. Not much to the appointment. We heard the heartbeat again. It was about 160 bmp. Doctor said everything was looking good, except for one thing...my weight. I have only gained one pound! The last time I checked my weight at home I thought I had gained three, but I guess our scale is off. I was a little bummed about this. I am really trying to gain weight. I eat as much as I can. I had no problem gaining weight before I got pregnant, but now I can't seem to gain anything. My appetite was bigger before I was pregnant. The doctor suggested I eat six smaller meals a day instead of three big meals. I am going to try and do this, and hopefully it works!
We have our next appointment scheduled for March 9th. It will be our BIG ultrasound. We get to find out the gender of our baby. Boy or Girl...we will find out! Can't wait to know! Joe has always referred to the baby as a boy because he is convinced that is what it is. I tell him it is a girl. I know one of us it right. We will have to wait and see. My mom is coming to the appointment with us. I know she is excited to see her first grandbaby on the screen. Hopefully the baby will work with us so we can tell. 18 weeks down...22 weeks to go!
