Yesterday, Jonathan and I went for a check-up with the doc. After a brief wait in the waiting room (which we each guessed my weight gain), it was time to face the scales.... and... I've gained 14 pounds! Okay, okay, so that's probably not all that bad, but it sounds bad.
Next, blood pressure. 120/72. Yikes! That's super high for me! The nurse asked if I was nervous... "no," was my response. After looking back, I think I got myself all worked up over that stupid scale! After my appointment, she checked it again. 106/68. Much better!
Onto the actual appointment and my thoughts on that appointment....
I'm really over these "belly checks" that they call "appointments." I mean, five minutes in the room, a little heartbeat action, some lighthearted conversation with the doc, and then we're out. That's it. No pictures... nothing. We really got spoiled the first few months with ultrasounds every month! I mean, ultrasound paper can't possibly cost that much?!
After that complaining, there's only good news to report! The baby's heartbeat measured 143-145 beats per minute. Still nice and healthy!
We have another appointment in about a month and I'm really hoping for some pictures. We'll just be in the third trimester, so it seems [to me] like a good time for an updated ultrasound. We'll see!
Until next time,
Jamie
