Well we had a LONG appointment today... starting with the lovely and ohh soo not delicious orange drink to check if I have gestational diabetes. This is the second time I've had to do it - the first was at 24 weeks and i passed with flying colors - lets hope its the same again :)
Second part was meeting with the nurse practitioner - They have 11 doctors/practitioners and they suggest meeting them all since your doctor might not be available come time to deliver. I've met 5. This one was a blast, she was older but had a great sense of humor. We discussed the contractions I've had, checked to make sure I wasn't dilated, measured my bump - I'm xxxx cm... HA you thought I'd tell ya?? Nope not til next week on Friday :) And we got to listen to the heartbeat - baby didn't like where she had the monitor and she kicked it and my cervix lol - I said 'she didn't like that' and the doctor said 'I could tell' lol. Her heartbeat was 140.
Somehow we got on the discussion of a baby name and ohhhh that was a fun few minutes. We still haven't decided and when Mike said the name Faustina, she turned looked at him and make him spell it out, kept asking questions and by the time we left the doctor was like 'I like that name'. How does he win everyone over??? Sigh... still deciding on a name!
So now we are starting our 2 week appointments on the 25th. Seems odd to be going down to 2 weeks! Only 10-12 more weeks to go!
