17 Weeks and Dr Appt Update

So today was my rescheduled appt from last week. I am glad that the orange glucose drink wasn't that bad. Now just to hope for good results! I was really hoping for an u/s today, but I guess my OB was the only one in the office today and said she was running an hour behind, plus had about 7 more patients to see yet before making rounds in the hospital. So an u/s was pretty much out of the question.  Brian was able to come with me this time. OB found baby's heartbeat right away.... beating at 160bpm.  Loved seeing that smiled on Brian's face when he heard it.I have also gained 6 lbs, which I thought my OB would be upset about, but she said it's a good thing that I am starting to gain a little weight. My A/S is scheduled for July 27th at 5pm. I can't wait!!!!
