While at work today I had a lot of other staff in the building tell me how good I look for being so far along in the pregnancy. I had one guy ask if I was about four months along and when he found out how far along I really was, he was shocked.
Michael and I got to my doctor’s appointment early today, which I thought would have been a good thing because we had so much to do this afternoon. It didn’t go according to plan, which it never does. My OBG-YN listened to your heart beat, which started at 142 bpm but then rose to 155 bpm. She took my belly measurements and said that it was perfect, along with my blood pressure. Again everything is looking good and we will go back to the doctor in about three weeks (a little longer since dad will be in Washington DC in two weeks).
After the doctor’s appointment, Michael and I had an appointment to take a tour of the labor and delivery area at the hospital. The receptionist was very polite and was asking all kinds of questions regarding our pregnancy. I’m glad to know that when it’s our turn to have the baby, all the necessary paperwork has been filled out and all we will have to do is get to the room to get you here. We then went on the tour of the maternity floor with Dianne. We started out in the labor, delivery, and recovery (for two hours) rooms. We also walked around the floor to look at the other rooms, the nursery, and the NICU. It was also comforting to know that a pediatrician, OB-GYN, NICU staff, and anesthesiologist are on site in case of an emergency. It just seemed so real taking the tour, like I can’t believe we will be there in about 50 days!
