My bi-weekly doctor apt was this morning, much to my surprise. I thought it was for tomorrow at 9am, which should have clued me in that I was wrong since tomorrow is a stat holiday. So this morning shortly after 10am her office calls me to ask if I'm ok. heh I told her it was one of those mornings. I asked when I could be re-scheduled and she said I could come in anytime today, so after the locksmith left, I got N dressed and headed to her office.
During my long wait (which I won't complain about bc I was the one that missed my original time of 9am) N had one major temper tantrum (a pg woman actually said "What did you do to her?" oiy), that had me so frazzled I'm shocked my blood pressure was still within the normal range. I'm talking a nasty tantrum, so bad I took her out into the hallway to calm down where she continued to screech so loudly I'm sure they thought I was beating her. sigh.
Anyway, weighed in at 55.6kg (122lbs) so I've only went up .2 from two weeks ago. No idea why I'm keeping track, I have no idea what my original weight was prior to getting pregnant. If I had to guess, I'd say 118? I know I was still carrying weight from my pg last fall that I did not bother to try and get rid of.
She did another cervix check (wee!) and it's still long and closed. I'm hoping it's one of the last 'physical' checks. She mentioned at the end of my appointment that starting at 21/22w she will start sending me for weekly u/s's to check my cervix. So if we do not find out at our 18w u/s what the gender is, we should find out soon enough at one of the weekly u/s's. Owen's first reaction when he heard was "Oh do I need to go to all the weekly ones?" followed by "Ooo now if we do not find out you are not going to harass me to let you pay for one!" hah. Yes, my sweet little mr. cheapo.
In other news I tried to find the heartbeat at home yesterday morning and managed to find it for a few seconds. I got a reading of 147bpm and today Dr. E said it was 140bpm. I do not remember N's being that low. It seemed to go in between 145 and 155.
I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, all I care about is that baby stays inside until at least 29w. However, because we are finding out this time around, I'm super excited for the u/s and not only curious but very anxious to learn the gender. I think I'm more excited to find out at the 18w u/s then I was when they told me N was a girl when she was born. ha!
