26.5 Checkup

Ah...I can't believe I forgot to post about my appt.! I think I had called and told a few family members, so I guess I had felt like I typed it out. Thanks Melissa for the reminder. :)

All went well.

Logan's Heartbeat is 154 bpm. It was funny it took her a little longer to get his heartbeat because he wouldn't stay still. He would kick the doppler and then move away.... He does that at first when we listen to his heartbeat with our microphone thingy. I think at first, he thinks it's a game...or perhaps he's just annoyed. I like to think he likes playing games. :)

The 'tingly' sensation at the top of my rib cage, she said, is probably him sitting on a nerve or something. Nothing to be concerned about. I just massage it and it goes away.

I met a new doctor....the 3rd female doctor. She shook my hand (unlike the last appt. doc) and asked for questions...although after my first one, she thought I was done...silly girl! :) But she was very friendly. :)

I am measuring 27 weeks, for being 26 weeks (although my visits are towards the middle/end anyway). She says that it's just fine. :)

They gave me the orders for the glucose test. The nurse warned me how sugary the drink was and icky....and to drink lots of water beforehand and make sure I eat and all... Well I just went next door and did the test right then and there. Really, I didn't think it was all that bad. I was given a choice of flavor (I was expecting no flavor)....so I chose Fruit Punch. It was like drinking sugary Gatorade. I downed it fairly quickly and sat for an hour writing up my training plan for a girl at my office that will handle my duties while I'm on maternity leave. Then I got my blood taken and bam, that was it.

I was told no news is good news....and I haven't heard anything...so all appears to be well on that front.

My next appointment is Thursday, August 28th and I will meet the last female doctor (there are 4). After this appointment I will start going every 2 weeks!!!! Ah! Exciting!!!
