Today was filled with baby events!!!
I had my 25 week appointment with one of the midwives. Jesse is doing great and his heartbeat is nice and strong! My blood pressure and weight are right were they should be as well! It was interesting to see this midwife try to locate Jesse by squishing my belly around and feeling for his outline (and seeing my belly be lopsided as Jesse laid at an angle)! Joe was super excited to find out that he can "catch" the baby during delivery which I think he started talking about half jokingly!! I was also referred to a physical therapist (who specializes in pregnant women) for my hip pain and because of the scoliosis. I was kind of surprised to find out that my next appointment isn't a month away but 3weeks now!! So I'll be back in at the end of the month! Oh yes, and next month I have to do like a prelim. of the glucose test. I have to drink a small thing of glucose after and an hour later they'll do a blood test. If my sugar levels are high then I'll have to do the full on glucose test which sounds like NO FUN at all!!
I also has an appointment with a lactation consultant at the WIC office. That was very interesting to learn more about breast feeding. I was one of 4 girls in the room, probably the oldest, the only one married, AND the only one who appeared interested! So sad!
In other news I finally got a pillow to help me sleep. I had to upgrade from a wadded up blanket wedged under my belly!! We ended up getting the Snoogle which looked pretty comfortable to me! I'll have to let you know how it goes!
