Pregnancy Update

Well I had my 12 week appointment with Dr. Shipley and so far everything is looking good with the baby. My official due date is May 11th but I am already measuring ahead of schedule. We had a talk about my weight gain seeing that I had actually lost weight from my 9 week appt. He wasn't concerned since I just don't gain a lot of weight during pregnancy (yes I am blessed). I told him with my last pregnancy I only gained 12 pounds. He is going to watch me and the baby more closely starting at 28 weeks due to my Celiacs Disease. They want to make sure that the baby is growing properly and getting the nutrients that it needs. Part of my disease is that my body rejects a lot of nutrients and vitamins that my body needs, so they will just watch me more closely and will do more ultrasounds towards the end.
