So far, so good.  We had another midwife appointment this week and everything is looking good.  Blood pressure, baby heart rate, weight gain, belly growth, everything is right on track.  We had the fun this week of seeing Baby move around, it's fun to be able to see and feel.  I'm staying active and getting as much rest as possible.  Appetite has definitely increase this week and often I feel like most of the day consists of snacks.  Not a bad life if you ask me.  = )
