Yay for a normal doctor's appointment! After being hospitalized with the flu and then being banned from my doctor's office, only to be sent to the worst doctor I've ever met, I was a super happy camper to be back with my amazing OB. He's honestly one of my favorite people ever and after my flu scare, I truly appreciate just how awesome he is.
In my flu-related appointments, I'd learned that I had lost a total of 10lbs since becoming pregnant, baby's heart rate was always great and that I never want to have the flu again. At this appointment.....
Weeks: 19w3d
Heartbeat: found via doppler and seen via ultrasound! That's right...we had our ultrasound, too! Is there anything better than seeing your baby on that fuzzy little screen? I think not! While we had the option to find out what baby's gender is, we chose not to :) Baby didn't want to give us one of those beautifully adorable profile shots, instead he/she kept looking at the ultrasound thing. Which, I'm going to be honest...creepy! We laughed, though, everytime she went to baby's face he/she would turn right towards it like "why in the world are you poking me?!" he/she also kept his one arm and hand up by his face, just like Eddie used to...that's pretty much the only comparisson though, since we couldn't get a profile view. As a side note, she pushed super hard during my ultrasound, at one point causing me some cramping. Even baby was getting frustrated...whenever she would stop he/she would kick and stretch out in relief. I know how you feel, babe!
Weight: + 6lbs...yowza! And let me tell you, I felt every pound. When I hopped on the scale I told the nurse that I knew I gained a bunch....I can feel it and I'm not that crazy about the feeling!
Feeling: great! still sleepy, wanting to eat all the effing time and have to pee every 10 minutes. Baby's legs are right on my bladder, and I can tell you that he/she looooves to kick my bladder. not fun :)
Craving: anyone can make me crave anything at anytime. mention it and I want it. the one thing that is consistant is my love for steak. nom nom nom
Next appointment: 4 weeks and finally getting to see the doctor that delivered eddie! my normal OB (dr. k) kept me with him after the flu disaster so he could continue to check up on me, and as much as I love him, I'm looking forward to seeing dr. d!
Eddie says: (my new section, since eddie asks the funniest questions about baby)....he killed me the other day, asking tons of questions about baby (what will it eat, play, what he will share with baby (including "popcibles") but the one that really got me was after he stopped to think for about 5 minutes. "Momma?" he asked "what's baby's name?" and oh...it was just adorable. I teared up. He will talk to baby through my belly button, and just a second ago he brought over an icepack from the freeze "for baby". Thanks, buddy! He won't answer when we ask him if the baby is a girl or a boy...he just says "it's a baby"....I hope that one day he'll play our game!
Belly pic: Meh, I'll get one soon. I'm huge, that about sums it up.
