I had a regular check-up with my OB doctor today.
Isaiah and Tim were able to come along. Isaiah enjoyed Dr. Clark's company, and he even counted to five for her. I think he was auditioning to help me count through pushing when the baby comes along, but he's going to have to stay at home with a baby-sitter for that big event. Tim had him playing with his keys, and Isaiah was looking quite intense. As soon as he heard the heart beat, though, he looked up and smiled sooooo big! That moment was so special for me that I forgot to ask what the heart rate was. Oh, well. It was good and strong, that I can tell you. :-)
My blood pressure and weight are great. So far I've only gained 10 pounds. Woo-hoo!!! I am quite proud of that! I go back in 3 weeks.
WARNING! WARNING! Pregnancy exam details to follow. Read at your own risk...
At my appointments from now on, I will have a fetal fibronectin swab and an ultrasound to measure the length of my cervix. After this next appointment on October 2nd, I will be going in every two weeks for these same procedures. I am so excited about the ultrasounds every two weeks! My doctor's office has a GREAT 3D machine, so I'm hoping for lots of good pictures to show Isaiah.
I will still continue with the weekly progesterone injections (which are making me cry from mood swings rather often). A nurse at school is teaching me how to give them to myself. I get to shoot up my thigh this Friday. Lucky me. Not.
Isaiah and I are missing out on lots of time together now that I'm back to work, so I'm going to get off this computer now. Nighty-night!

Are you going to find out if the baby is a boy or girl?
You have only gained 10 lbs??? Crazy. Please have a bowl of ice cream tonite, your boney hinder won't hurt so much in Choir practice. :)
Love ya!!

Glad to hear that things are going well with #2 so far. It sounds like you have some good doctors. We can't wait to have another niece or nephew to talk about-hehe! Take Care....
