Doctor's Appointment
Appointment 4 - December 2, 2009 - 13 weeks 4 days
I'm not really going to do the typical doctor's appt post because well this was just a routine visit and they didn't even do an ultrasound. Dalyn couldn't get off work so I went to this one solo. I got to listen to the babies heartbeats and it was amazing to hear them pounding away. Although we ordered a doppler a few weeks ago, so we've been listening to them at home anyways. My blood pressure was still amazingly low, 98/57, no wonder I feel like I can't move at times. The doctor said it was normal and should start rising slower here soon. I've gained 8 lbs so far! He seemed pretty content with that so I guess I am too. He also went over about a million different things on how things would progress over the next months. He said I'd most likely be put on some kind of bed rest but he couldn't say for sure. He also said they would recommend me stop working around 30 weeks or at least cut way back. All my blood work from last appt came back normal. I'm O neg, which means I'll be getting a Rhogam shot, which I already knew! But the most exciting thing about our appointment is that next time we'll be finding out what we're having. He said they would do about an hour scan over both babies!! One full hour we get to watch them!!! So our next appt is . . . . . December 31st!!! Yes, New Year's EVE! I thought that was super fun, although I doubt I'll make it to see the ball drop this year. In a week or so I'm going to put up a poll so people can vote on what these little munchkins' are, I can't wait to see what people think.
