Follow Up Baby Dr. Appointment

Bright and early Monday morning and we are off to see Dr. Danica Bloomquist at Group Health in Bellevue. It was just a routine visit to see how our little girl is doing. It is always the best that we get to hear Sprouts heart beat when we go in for these monthly visits. I tell ya what…we just can’t get enough of that.  It might be kind of hard to hear, but take a listen to the video below :-D

The baby doctor did commend me for only gaining 7 lbs during the pregnancy. Yay! Unfortunately, 6 of those lbs were gained in the last month. (Thank goodness the food aversions are gone and I can finally eat, but maybe it’s not all such a good thing) So in the midst of her delightful compliments on my subtle weight gain, she told me I needed to revert back to more of what I was doing before. Maybe she doesn’t realize I am an “all or nothing” kind of gal. Just Kidddin. I’ll definitely try to make sure I’m not over-doing the food now that I can finally eat. Along with the visit, I had the luxury of getting stabbed in the arm for yet another blood test. This time it is a glucose test that will help us see if I’ve developed gestational diabetes from the pregnancy. The good news is I’ve been craving orange soda since getting preggers and I finally got to drink some for this test! I guess it was worth the little poke in the arm.
