doctor's visit

So we went to the doctor on Wednesday. It is funny, they really don't do much at these doctors appointments. I pee in a cup to check to make sure my urine is balanced, they weigh me and take my blood preasure and then they measure my belly and listen to the baby's heart beat. That's it. Everything looked good, baby's heart sounded great, except she told me I haven't gained enough weight so far. I am "supose" to gain 25-35lbs over the 40 weeks and I have gained 7 over 25wks though I think I was about 8lbs over my healthy weight when I started this adventure. She said for women who don't gain weight, she recomended drinking an extra Carnation meal substitute drink a day which Mike thought was total crap. I have been eating a lot so it is kind of crazy to me that my weight doesn't show it, but I will try and eat more (without going for the chemical drinks) and trust my body is doing the right thing.
