It has been a crazy week, this week. We had 2 doctor appointments this week. One one Tuesday with Dr. Thathcer and then one on Wednesday with Dr. Robertson.
The appointment on Tuesday with Dr. Thatcher was the normal go in, pee in a cup, take your blood pressure, get weighed...sit on a monitor and listen to the baby's heartbeat. Sounds pretty routine right...well not with this baby of ours. It started off different because Derek was actually able to go to the appointment (he has been skipping Dr. Thatcher's and going to Dr. Robertson's appointments). So we get there and of course we sit on the monitor for about 45 minutes, which we actually got some great readings of her heart, which is rare b/c she is usually moving around like crazy, I think she was on good behavior because Daddy was there. She was doing great and I was doing great, feeling a little uncomfortable, but who does feel comfortable being strapped to a chair! Well anyway the lady next to me was looking at my charts and noticed that I was having contractions! I couldn't feel them to bad, just a little bit of pressure, which the doctor said was pretty common. I actually had a contraction that lasted about 1(one) minute. It was crazy. Dr Thatcher said as long as they aren't continued like that and constant we should be fine until our due date. So then we went and got weighed...which of course even woman, let alone every pregnant women loves, but this time I got up there with the whatever attitude. I am down 4 lbs from the week before! Which now means my overall weight gain since January is 8 lbs!!! I am so excited. My blood pressure was also great. So things are looking great.
