Went to the doc today for my check up. I'm 35 weeks tomorrow; we got behind on weeks again. But I'm starting to go every week now anyway so it doesn’t really matter. It was a GREAT visit.
- My blood sugar levels look so good that he's allowing me to check my blood sugar ONE time a day as opposed to four times a day! YAY! I'm SO happy about that one. I still have to watch what I eat and stuff, but it looks like I've got the hang of it and that's a good thing.
- I only gained like 2-3 lbs (that's happy for me).
- My blood pressure although still on the high side was A LOT lower than it normally is for the second time in a row. He wasn't as excited about it as I was, but that's okay.
- Instead of having to wait another two weeks to see my little guy in an ultrasound, he wants me to come in next week. I think it's because I measured 40 inches, which I guess is bigger than I should be for 35 weeks? He didn't specify.
- His little heartbeat sounded great, it's starting to get slower each time I hear it. I guess because he's getting bigger and bigger!
So it was a good one, I left feeling good about things. And I left feeling better about that visit then I really ever have. He actually talked to me and answered my questions and wasn't in a hurry to bust out of the room.
Last night Ryan and I went to a potential pediatricians office to take Ben to where they had a class on what to expect the first year and to take a tour and meet a couple of their doctors. It was pretty cool! I was having some Braxton Hicks again and was having a hard time paying attention- but overall we liked it. I don't know if I'm ready to commit to them yet. We got free stuff though and that's always nice. :) One of the ladies that was there is a week ahead of me and her baby was already over 7 lbs! Yikes!
Delinda is here! She's been here a week now and it's been fun. It's so good to have family close by. I do wish I was closer to mine often, especially right now because everyone seems to be going through something. My poor little 3 year old niece has been in the hospital with Rotavirus and her poor daddy has been sick for a couple months and had to have his gallbladder out yesterday! My parents have a lot going on also and could always use some help.
Anyway, that's the update for now. Happy it's the weekend finally, and happy I get to have my hair done tomorrow and maybe a finished dresser? Hint, hint, nudge, nudge Ryan...
