Thanks Mom for reminding me to update :)
I had my 21-week appointment this morning. Very quick and simple. The baby's heartbeat sounded right on target, and we talked briefly about how I was feeling and questions I had. I'm still down about 12 pounds from when I found out at 9 weeks that I was pregnant, and I haven't gained or lost anything since week 13. My doctor said that since the baby looked great on my 19-week ultrasound, he isn't too concerned whether or not I gain any weight as long as the baby is developing on track and I'm taking my vitamins. My blood pressure was right where it should be.
Next appointment is May 9th! I have to take the glucose test for gestational diabetes. That is SO not an issue I want to deal with so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Next ultrasound is at 32 weeks (unless something happens). I was hoping it was sooner!
I can't believe this baby already weighs a pound! I am still waiting to feel those "magic flutters" and kicking though!

I LOVED hearing the hb...how exciting. Sorry you don't get an u/s sooner...that's a long wait! I'll keep my fingers crossed on the GD. Ugh, I gag just thinking about the sugary drink!
I'm glad things are on track and you are feeling well. Wow, 21 weeks already--excellent!
Glad things are going well! Ugh the GD test! I can almost remember the vile taste of the sugary drink! Bleh!
