Today I had my four month check up. When I got to the doctor’s office everyone welcomed me and acted like they had been waiting for me. I told them how good they were at making people feel special. I later found out that Doctor Nance was scheduled for a delivery and was in a super big hurry. They had called all of the later appointments and told them to come earlier. That is all of the later appointments except me! He was paged while he was talking to me and had to run out. (Good thing we were done!)
Today was really exciting because I got to hear the heart beat again. However this time it was crystal clear. The heart beat was incredibly fast and Doctor Nance guessed that the baby is a girl. I got weighed in as normal and found out that I’ve gained a whopping two and a half pounds. Again I was surprised because of the amount of food I eat I thought for sure I would have gained 8 pounds at least. (Plus my pants are all too tight to button up now.) The nurse said that 4 pounds is the average that they like, but they’ll take the two. I was super sick last week so that might have something to do with not gaining so much.
I made two appointments for next month. One with my doctor just as a regular check up and another one to find out what the baby is. YEAH!!!! Finally I’ll be able to buy stuff and start planning. I should also be able to feel the baby move by the next month which thrills me. That pretty much sums it up, the appointment took about 10 minutes. Until next month…..
