Visiting the Doctor

This morning I was feeling fine so I decided to take Celie to the grocery store to get the house stocked back up before Anna woke up. (Anna hates it when we leave her behind and cries for awhile afterwards). Halfway through shopping, I started not feeling so great. I started to feel warm and weak. So, I tried to hurry out of there.

Once home, I let Bob unload the groceries and I sat down to see if I could feel Jake. I was a little concerned because I hadn't been feeling Jake as much as I had in the past. So, I called the Drs. office. They told me to come in so they could check me out. My Dr. was out of town so I was seen by her colleague. So, Bob logged out of work, we packed up the girls and headed to the Dr.

Bob and the girls dropped me off and they went to go get some lunch and drive around so they wouldn't go crazy in the waiting room. The saw me right away. I had lost a pound since Monday and my blood pressure was 132/83 - so creeping up again. They decided to run some blood work. Jake sounded good. They monitored me for 30 minutes. His heart rate and movement was good. They also did an ultrasound to make sure my fluids, placenta, and he was doing o.k. They are estimating him to be about 5 # 7 oz. right now. Everything checked out o.k. He is moving - I just can't always feel him. So, though I hadn't expected or wanted to spend 2 hours at the Drs. I am glad to have peace of mind that he is doing great. Bob and the girls came and picked me up and we all went home and Bob went back to work and the girls and I watched a movie. It was a great afternoon.

Bob did tell me that during the driving around, he passed the Drs. office a couple of times and each time he passed it, Celie spoke up and said, "Daddy, mommy is at the Dr. You passed it." She was very concerned that they were leaving me at the Drs. office. I am very flattered that she knew where I was & was concerned. I am a lucky mom.
