Imagine if your height tripled in a matter of 15 weeks. It seems crazy, indeed, but it has happened to me - my length has at least tripled from what it was at 12 weeks! It's estimated I am about 14 and 1/2 inches now and weigh nearly 2 pounds. If I were a vegetable, I would be equivalent to the size of a head of cauliflower.
Mom went to the doctor this week and took a glucose screening test. Results should be back next week. Everything else checked out fine - her blood pressure is good (pretty low, in fact), her weight is fine (gained 2 pounds this time for a total of 18), and my growth is in line with where it should be. This is the first time they measured mom's belly! It was especially funny, though,
because mom had decided one day this weekend to spell "BABY" on her belly (including an arrow) with sunscreen and spent hours in the sun. It still showed up very clear when the doctor took a look. Fortunately, she has a sense of humor and was only disappointed with the fact she did not have a camera.

Once she finished laughing, the doctor took my heartbeat, which was somewhere in the 140's again. For those of you trying to guess my gender based on this, it's still middle of the road enough that it could go either way. It sure is fun to keep you all guessing!
This week marks the end of the 2nd trimester. I will write next week when I am officially in the 3rd - getting closer to my birthday!

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I’m glad you took a picture of that. Be careful in the sun now that you are pregnant you will burn very easily!
