Today we had our second Dr. appointment. I was kind of dreading the part of the appointment when you hop on a scale and then they chart down your weight. I mean the holidays DID just end. Lets just say I didn't hold off on eating "to few" tamales when we were in California. But it was a pleasant surprise when our nurse Marnee giggled and said "if you come to your next appointment and haven't gained much more, Dr. Grace will need to talk to you". Amazing, I totally indulged over the holidays (mostly just on tamales) and total gainage (not a word) was 1/2 a lb. Now, I do know I have a long way to go so my pride will end here.
I love having Andrew with me at my appointments. We both have NO idea what we're doing and most of the time look at each other not really knowing how to answer Dr. Grace's questions. Eventually one of us answers. Whether is was right or wrong we'll never know.
While Dr. Grace was going over some of my test results she told Andrew and I that my body rejected the Rubella vaccine. Really?? That happens? That was my initial thought. Apparently it happens to 1 in 10 women. She assured me I wasn't the only woman in Bozeman, Mt whose body rejects it. Not sure if that made me feel better or not. All I know is that if you aren't vaccinated we probably shouldn't be friends until baby is born. We can still talk on the phone though.
We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again! Ah such a sweet sound. This time we recorded it. Baby G is an active little thing and kept moving around when she was trying to get a good sound! I am not sure that hearing the heartbeat will ever get old. After the appt we went and had some Starbucks. I read a pregnancy magazine while my husband read a book on Hawaii. I love that man. Today was a great day for our little family! Here is to a good nights sleep!
Video to come soon!
