27 Week Check-up

I saw my doctor yesterday for me 27 week appointment.
All is looking good.  Honu’s heartbeat measured at a strong 144 – with the gel filling up my disappearing belly button (so weird). 

After this appointment, I’ll start seeing him every TWO weeks.  Can you believe it?  I’m going to be in my third trimester!!!  And in less than 2 months, I’m actually going to be on maternity leave.  What the heck?  Time went by pretty fast.

Mike and I even got our Birthing Class forms.  Interesting.  Knowing me and Mike, we’re going to have a lot of laughs in those classes.  And I’m interested in doing the orientation tour at the hospital.  Everything is starting to feel much more real….very serious.  We’re bringing a baby into this world.

I ended the appointment with my usual list of new questions.  Afterwards, my doctor kind of laughed and said “Lay off of Babycenter for awhile, will ya?”  he he!  OBGYN’s…..I imagine they must deal with a lot of the same things over and over again.  🙂  And I consider myself pretty low maintenance as a pregnant woman and patient.
