Today was my 6-month doctor's appointment. Everything is the same - normal. I'm always just normal (yeah!). A couple of things happened at the doctor that did put things into perspective for me. First, I'm going to have a glucose test at my next appointment. This brings back horrible memories of the glucose test I had to take when I donated my kidney. That test was three hours long!! But the nurse assured me this test was only the one-hour kind, so that's good news.
The second thing that happened was that they told me that my next appointment will be my last monthly appointment. After that I switch to bi-monthly appointments. Every two weeks to the doctor! That really makes things hit home for me. Like the fact that 9 minus 6 is 3!!!!
I don't even want to discuss my weight except to unfortunately report that it did go up and not just the "little 4 pounds" it was supposed to. What the heck?? I've been walking after school and it's not like I eat horrible things (well, not everyday that is).
I have several events coming up to look forward to: my birthday is on Tuesday the 17th; Thanksgiving with my family and then round two with my in-laws (two meals - yummy!); and my baby shower on December 12th. I'm super excited about the baby shower. We've been in a holding pattern on buying things (except diapers) because we don't know what we need yet. Once the baby shower is over I can see what I have and what else I need to get. This will be another "hit home" occasion for us. Finalizing baby purchases will really make it seem close!
But all in all things are just dandy. I'm thoroughly round and the baby kicks the crap out of me daily. It actually stayed put when the doctor listened to the heartbeat (the first time that's happened). So everything's great! I happen to be in the same outfit this month, so you can really see the difference in my belly. Enjoy!
