Doctor's Apt #3

I had my third doctor's appointment with Dr. Denning yesterday. It was the first appointment that Eddie was unable to attend, so I was sad that he could not be there. However, this was just a "follow up appointment": no sonograms, no "congratulations, it's a ______", no special news that we didn't already know. This was simply a "let's see how you and Baby Webb are doing" type of appointment. So, there was really no need for him to take time off from work.

They checked my blood pressure, as they do at every appointment, and it was normal. They weighed me, and I've actually lost two pounds...the nurse asked me if I've been eating healthier or if I've been sick lately, but no, I can only account the weight loss towards the increase in activity that I've had within the last week or so. Unfortunately, I have not begun some kind of exercise regimen, as I know I should, but I have been more active: Eddie and I are trying to get the rest of our boxes unpacked and our house finally in a normal living condition, and we were Busy Lil' Bees this past weekend. In addition, when I was getting nauseous every morning and evening, I was pretty quick to toss the crackers in my mouth, but now that I'm not getting the queasy feeling, I haven't been stuffing my face. Other than that, my eating habits have not changed. But, the nurse didn't seem concerned, so neither was I.

Then, the nurse sent me into an examination room where I was met by Dr. Denning. She asked me how I was doing and looked over my file and said that everything appeared on schedule. I was lucky enough to hear Baby Webb's heartbeat again, but this time she just listened to it...no sonogram. She said it sounds good.

This appointment was quick and to the point. But, Dr. Denning did tell me that at my next appointment, I will have another sonogram. I'm already so excited to see how much Baby Webb will have grown by then...it's not for another 5 weeks, so I'm sure Baby Webb will be so much bigger than he/she is now. And the best part, if the August 2nd appointment doesn't reveal the sex, this appointment will.
