Seventh Prenatal Dr Visit

I had my seventh prenatal appointment today.  Joe couldn’t come with me because he was working and with the Holiday scheduling I could only get an appointment in the middle of the afternoon.  The doctor just checked the baby’s heart rate.  148bpm, regular and nothing out of the ordinary.  She also weighed me.  I’m at 150lbs which is good.  According to her my weight gain is finally okay and not too much so I guess I’ve been doing better.  It’s kind of weird because my scale at home reads between 146 and 148 but the Dr’s office scale is always much higher.  This is the last time I’ll see my regular Dr since she’s leaving for her maternity leave.  She says she hopes to be back in time to deliver my baby but I have a feeling she won’t be.  I also have a strong feeling the baby is going to come in early March.  They made me an appointment with one of the partners in her practice for next month.  And I’m supposed to get a glucose/diabetes test so I have to go back to Quest Diagnostics.  I’m actually not really thrilled with that place.  Their customer service is horrible.  But I’ll get it done next week.
