Yesterday, I had a doctors appointment. Carl and I both went, and he took the rest of the afternoon off--which was WONDERFUL! It was so good to spend some time together!
My appointment was at 12:45, and lasted almost an hour. We talked about all sorts of birth preferences, and the standard protocol that the doctors follow like: when to call them during labor, what you should call about, how to get a hold of them, etc. During the next few weeks the doctor and I are going to talk about different emergency scenarios that might come up during the labor and delivery. I feel more comfortable talking about these scenarios ahead of time, instead of assuming everything will be "textbook."
The baby is still head down--and doing VERY well. He/she is an active little guy/girl, and was putting on quite the show for the doctor! The baby's heartbeat was 150 bpm, which is a little lower than it normally has been. My belly is measuring at 39 weeks--although that really doesn't mean anything about when labor is impending. The due date is now 3 1/2 weeks away...and I am hoping the baby comes a little before then, but we will see!
Today's Carl's birthday--and I am so excited! I just love birthday's!!! Hopefully, he will enjoy his day as much as I will...good news is he won't have to share it with his little peanut! Both families are coming over for dinner, which will be fun, and we'll eat some birthday cake! Becka and Abby got here about 9:30 this morning, and I have been having fun putting them to work!! It's nice to have them to hang out with!! I'm making macaroni and cheese and corn dogs for lunch--not gourmet but will be delicious none the less!!!
