May Doctor's Appointment

We didn't get to see our doctor today as she was in delivery, which is a little sad as she always brightens my mood. The baby's heart rate was normal, although he/she kept kicking the monitor. We definitely have a curious little bugger! I'm measuring just fine, so baby is growing normally. The doctor commented that my belly looks really small for as far along as I am because the baby is lying down instead of curling up. So, my belly takes up the entire front of me instead of sticking out down low like most people's. It's apparently totally normal and dependent on where it is easiest for your body's muscles to stretch- baby takes up any room that is available! I'm happy for that information, though, as I hear frequently: "You're seven months? But you're so small!". Now I have an explanation.
