I had my 4th prenatal appointment with Dr. Lashay yesterday. She said the ultrasound results were great, everything is perfect, no problems whatsoever. I listened to my baby's heartbeat on the doppler, and it's as strong as ever.
I finally gained me 3 pounds! Yay! My OB said she does't care about not gaining enough weight and not to stress about it. Geez, the midwife I saw last month (since my regular OB was on vacation) was actually emphasizing that I should eat every 2 hours for me to gain weight, only to find out it doesn't really matter as long as the baby is growing at the right pace and everything is normal. Just eat healthy and normally. Oh well, I now just have to be careful not to eat too much fatty foods or sweets or else I would get swollen on my third trimester.
I am finally showing! There's a huge difference in my belly now, definitely bigger. Here is my 5-month "mug shot":
