Dr. Appointment update...

Sorry no updated pictures as of yet......

 Today we went for another routine check up. We are visiting the dr. every two weeks at this point.  Phew - lots of driving and work for a 'yep the baby has a heartbeat, see you in two weeks'  kind of check up.  And seriously, when I left I was not feeling like a happy pregnant lady! Here is why.....

1.  We found out that we owed more $ after completely paying the bills off last time we came in.  (How does that happen? )

2.  The receptionist asked when I was due and after I responded "8 more weeks" she said...."wow.... are you having twins?" (Seriously, haven't you learned not to say that - especially since you see pregnant ladies every day!
And really, I am probably already aware of the fact that my stomach is larger than normal so you really don't need to share your wisdom with me - EVER AGAIN!


3.  After my Dr. measured me she pointed out that I may really need a c-section this time because the baby is so big. (Huh..... I go to the chiropractor to finallly get my hips in line and now the baby is too big??  I just can't win.)

4.  After taking my blood pressure, my nurse says, "Hum... a slight bit higher than normal but nothing to be worried about."  ( Not sure why it was higher?  Maybe the receptionist would know???)

By the time we left I was exhausted. Oh yes... probably should mention... baby's heartbeat was great - 140 beats per minute.  I did measure three cm larger this time so yes... the baby is growing and getting bigger.  The Dr. said that if they do a c-section it would only be a week early because the hospital frowns upon deliveries planned earlier than that.   

Wouldn't it be just fantastic if I go into labor three weeks early and deliver a 7lb. baby without a c-section.......


Yeah... we'll see......
