Just a side note as I write this post – I cannot believe I
have been to the doctor this much! I can
honestly say this is the most I have been to the doctor in my life! I was also talking to Barrett this week about
how when I have the baby this will be the first time I have ever been in the
hospital besides when I was born! Just a
little random thing I wanted to share….
Anyway, back to the appointment. This was another in and out appointment that
only took about 20 minutes. I did the
normal routine of: checking in, urine
sample, weigh in, blood pressure check, baby heart rate check, measurement of
my belly, and visit with my doctor. I
have gained 3 pounds since my last doctor’s appointment, making my total weight
gain 18 pounds. My blood pressure is
still really good (I can’t remember exactly what it was). Lennox’s heart rate was 143 and was super
easy for the nurse to find! My doctor
came in and measured my belly. I am
still measuring a week behind, but she is not concerned since I am gaining
weight and I have been consistently measuring behind anyway. Then my doctor talked to me a little bit
about the future appointments. My next
appointment on Friday, July 13, is my 36 week appointment. At this appointment they will begin checking
my cervix for thinning and dilation.
After that appointment I will go to the doctor weekly until Lennox is
born.
I know I keep saying it in my posts, but I really can’t
believe we are getting ready to have a baby.
This time has really flown by. It
seems like just yesterday we were telling everyone we were having a baby in
August and it is almost here!
I am so thankful that this pregnancy has been healthy and easy
for me. I hope that the labor and
delivery are just as easy!!! J
