Yesterday was an appointment with Merrie, and I was glad to report that once I increased my protein and added an iron supplement, I haven’t been quite so exhausted.  My ankles/feet are still puffed up, but nowhere nearly as bad as they were a few weeks ago.

Weight…I’ve gained another 5 pounds!  180.4

My blood pressure…low as usual: 104/51

Baby’s heartrate: 130s-140s  She was pretty quiet through all of it; seems I keep setting appointments for while she’s sleeping.

I’m not too concerned about the new five pounds (effectively 2lbs/week since my last visit 2-1/2 weeks ago), because I’ve REALLY felt my belly grow, and baby growing as well.  She’s allowed as much weight as she wants/needs for growth.

Then again, I’m sick of the few pieces of maternity clothing I have left that fit…and purchasing anything else at this late date just seems silly.
