Hello! Yesterday I had my OB appointment and wouldn't you know it our doctor had a delivery upstairs so we had to wait awhile to be seen. I got a sonogram and it was difficult to determine what I was seeing because the baby is now about 6 pounds and taking up a lot of room in my uterus! The heartbeat was good and she moved around a little. When the doctor finally saw me he looked at the sono pictures and thought the amniotic fluid might be low. So he redid the sono and said everything was fine. If the fluid was low I would've stayed overnight in the hospital on an IV! My next appointment is next week. According to him I'm 36 weeks along and doing very well. I only gained 0.4 pounds since last time.
I have to admit both Jon and I were stunned when we found out the possibility of me staying in the hospital overnight. I'm getting closer to my due date so anything is possible. After we left the doctor's office we had dinner at my favorite place, Mimi's Cafe. I was so hungry and thirsty. I ate everything on my plate and drank lots of raspberry tea. I slept on and off all night and eventually had breakfast with Jon before he left for work this morning. I finally went back to sleep for a good 3 hours.
I think from now on when I have OB appointments, I'll be taking my hospital bag with me for "just in case".
