as noted on my recent facebook status: Maggie is crazy. every time a nurse tries to put the fetal monitor on my belly, she tries to run and hide (not as though she could get very far), or kicks the nurse. i love that.
we met the pediatrician today she was super nice and the office was a fun place, so this should be good. this may be typical of pediatrician offices, but how would i know?!?! each exam room had a theme; we were in the Princess Suite; there was also a cowboy room, a lion room, and (for my friend Lulu) a frog room.
there was the very strange point early in the visit when the nurse called us back for the initial tour, and said, "Margaret." It took me a long time to realize that was us. I am going to be a mom....YIKES! (oh also, they gave us this folder of information about the practice and in the introductory letter used the phrase "post haste." LOVE THAT. i suppose if i did anything post haste i would add that one to my vocabulary...well...post haste.)
after the pediatrician, we had the weekly sonogram, or, at least, we thought we did. evidently, once a patient is admitted to the hospital in-patient, all of his subsequent appointments are cancelled. inconvenient. especially when the patient is not informed of this. anyway, they were very nice about it all and got us in right away, as if nothing had ever happened. i really appreciated that!! so, sono was good. fluid was 13+ and Maggie (at 32.5ish weeks) weighs an astonishing FIVE-and-a-HALF pounds. YIKES! they say babies gain about 8 oz. per week during the last trimester; mine gained nearly an ENTIRE pound.
then we went to the ob, and all was fine there. same ole same ole
nick (with the help of some very nice members of the Bethany College Swede football team) is still working on getting us all moved over to the new place. i continue working on not going completely nuts lying here for as long as it takes; at least there will be new surroundings soon.
k.. as always...we will keep you posted
