One year check-up!

This past Wednesday I went for my one-year check-up. It was a little over a month overdue, but I kept having to reschedule until I could find someone to watch Ayden. The appointment went well and the doctor was very excited for me about the pregnancy. The doctor and dietician both discussed weight gain during pregnancy (no more than 15 pounds) and nutritional requirements (additional 300 calories per day, increased calcium supplements) and also encouraged me to continue regular exercise during the pregnancy. I admitted that exercise has not exactly been my #1 priority in the last several exhaustion-filledweeks, but made a promise to start walking again 3-4 times a week as soon as the weather turns nice. Other than that, I have a panel of lab work ordered that I will have drawn at the hospital next week and as long as everything looks okay, I will just go back for my annual check-up next year!
