So I had a doctors appointment today and everything went well again! The baby is doing well. His heartbeat was 136-138 bpm and he has been very active. Last night Mike looked at my stomach and was in awe of how lopsided I was. My left side was hanging down further then my right side. It was funky looking! I am measuring 29 cm from pelvis to top of the uterus. I have gained 11 lbs since last month and that is not good! My doctor said it is too much but she isn't prescribing a diet. She just wants me to be aware of what I am eating and drinking. Hopefully I won't be too obese! I talked to her about my heart palpatations and she thinks I might have acid reflux. She gave me a prescription for Pepsid and will monitor me for the next two weeks ( I am now in my third trimester and will visit the doc's every two weeks). She said if the medicine doesn't work then I will need to get an EKG and go on a heart monitor to see if it is something else. Hopefully it is nothing. At times, it just feels like my heart is going to explode clownheads and I start coughing because I can't breathe. Lots of pregnant women have heart palpatations and their hearts race but my heart actually slows down and sometimes my body feels weak. I think it is because my baby is so big that he is resting on an artery? It is very random. I am praying that it isn't anything to worry about. Well, the child is now kicking me simultaneously in my ribs and bladder and I have to use the facilities! So I am signing off until my next dr.'s appt. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts!
Love to all,
Mike, Stacey, and baby boy!

Sounds like you're destined to have a huge one like me! I'm a bigger person and I still was lopsided at times. We'll be praying for the heart issue....hope you're feeling good! Not long to go!!! YAY!!
I'm glad you like it. I did the same thing with other mommy's that I know. It really helps to know what is coming next!! I want to see some new pics.
When is your next appointment?
holley wants to know where week 30 and 31 are :) Hope all is well. I look forward to the shower.
I was planning on updating this morning but I forgot and now I am making dinner. I'll try tonight. If I don't do it then, I'll do it tomorrow. I am only doing every other week b/c those are my appointment weeks. You'll soon have a 31 week update:) My app. was yesterday.
Yay! I'm so excited for you guys!!! Question for you....you hate Winnie the Pooh -- does that include your baby pooping on Winnie the Pooh? Ha ha. No, seriously? Huggies have Winnie the Pooh on them.
