14 week checkup

Today we went to the doctor for our check up and everything looked great!  We were able to get the baby's heartbeat on the Doppler and it was 150.  She did say that my uterus is all on the left side of my abdomen but is not worried about it.  She said that when it comes out of your pelvis it sometimes leans to one side but most women it is on the right...I just have to be different!  They are going to watch it as things progress but she believes that it will move back to the center as the baby gets bigger.  I weighed in and I had lost 1/2 pound since last appointment, which I was happy with.  I have been eating more and still trying to watch what I eat.  Well, the midwife was not happy with my weight loss.  She said that I should be gaining weight and I need to watch everything I eat.  I tried to tell her that the last midwife told me it was okay for a woman my size to gain very little if not anything.  Apparently she does not share the same views.  I honestly felt like I was being lectured because I had done something wrong and I really have done a good job of watching everything I put in my mouth.  We try to cook out on the grill as often as we can and eat veggies every meal as well as lots of fruit.  I will try to do better about the food I take in but when my body tells me to stop then I can't force more food down...don't know what more the midwife wants from me!
On a good ending note we scheduled our next appointment and that will also be our gender check ultrasound as well.  It is scheduled for October 6 at 4:30.  We will be just shy of 19 weeks so we hope the baby cooperates so we can finally know what we are having! 
Reid and I will be walking this Saturday morning in remembrance of my Grandfather at the Walk to End Alzheimer's.  Then next weekend we are going to Albuquerque to go to the state fair and rodeo! 

PS: Sorry we did not get a picture taken this past weekend because we had Alice, Braeden and Paege visiting!  We will definitely get one up this weekend!
