Movement

I thought I had been feeling something for a few days, but today there was no question, this little guy is already kicking me!

16 Week Appointment

Well, it's official, Maddy is going to be the big sister of a bouncing baby boy!! The appointment went well. Unfortunately, Dr. Joyless does not capture the greatest sonogram pictures and she sent us home with a hand and a foot. No profile.

Good news is that the cervix did not change, so working and part-time parenting have not changed it a bit.

Now hopefully I will sleep through the night knowing everything is a-okay!

Chris has the limbs, so I will post them later (but really, they are not that interesting!).

14 Week Appointment

Not much to report. All looks good. No new sonogram pictures. Dr. Joy"less" Steinfeld is a no- monkeying-around kinda doctor. She is there to check the cervix, she checks the cervix and moves on. Who cares that there is a baby swimming around in there! I did get kinda nervous when Dr. Linkie couldn't find the baby's heartbeat (okay, so I kinda cried) and when she saw that I was upset, she got the portable sonogram machine to prove that the baby was fine. So I did get a fuzzy glimpse at the little bean.

Next appointment is in two weeks. I might BEG for a sono picture then!!!

Lunch Plans

I did try to make it to lunch today but Chris' car had other plans (like not starting). I was bummed but Heather delivered the pizza from lunch after school with the box signed from all the first grade teachers. It made me smile!!!

Dr. Appointments

I called the doctor and apparently Dr. Steinfeld, the new high risk doc, is very busy. When I told them that I couldn't make any appointment until after 3:00, they squeezed me in next week and then booked my next 2 appointments until the end of June so I wouldn't run into that problem again.

The pain is lingering, mostly in my back and legs so I'm not too concerned. It's always worse at night but the heating pad and extra strength Tylenol seem to be helping a little. I was going to try and meet my co-workers for lunch, but I'm still not sure that is a great idea. I do want to get out, but I also want to be able to go back to work on Monday so I think I might have to sit this one out.

Just spoke to Dr. Korn and he said that back pain is totally normal and could be from the spinal or just the position I was in from the surgery. No need to worry. They will check everything else at the appointment on Tuesday. Another sonogram!
