We got to hear the heartbeat of "the Bean" (as we have now affectionately dubbed Baby Ward) for the first time at the second appt with Dr. Van Der Linden Nov 8th - still very strong at 156 bpm. My blood pressure was a little low giving me the excuse to add more salt to my diet. The following week had my second appt with the diabetes team at VGH - have gained about 10 pounds and blood sugar looks great. Nov 21st was another day of bloodwork for the triple screen test to detect chromosomal abnormalities. Definitely suffering from more mood swings, skin getting itchy around my growing belly. One day your pants fit you and the next day they don't! Wierd. Ian has taken on his responsibility of dad very seriously by monitoring my diet like a hawk. Call him the food nazi. Have a big love of cheese and my lactose intolerance seems to have disappeared due to pregnancy hormones. Took first belly shot this month.
