29 Weeks.. you can see her little lips
Today I had my 7 month appointment, which is the appointment that I have been dreading from the very beginning. I had to do the diabetes test, which I have heard horrible stories about AND I had to get a HUGE shot in my hip, because I am Rh Negative.
We woke up to snow and decided to leave 1 hour and 15 minutes early since the roads have been really bad lately. We arrived there in just one hour :), and I headed to the lab to drink the sugar soda. It actually wasn't bad at all. It just taste like flat sprite, but it was nice and cold. I drank it right down. Then we headed to my OB appointment. My doctor was not able to make it in today, because of the snow so I was able to see another doctor who we have seen in the past.
The appointment went very well. Everything is still looking good! My blood pressure is still low, and I don't have any protein or sugars in my urine. Laney's heart rate was 142, and she even kicked the doppler which made us all giggle. I had to get the shot in my hip today, and it really didn't hurt. I asked Jordan NOT to say anything about how big the needle was while I was getting the shot, but after all was said and done he told me the needle was HUGE. He said it is one the biggest he has seen, and he use to be an EMT. The nurse even told me she chose "the friendlier needle".
Every appointment they measure your belly, and while my weight gain is still minimal my belly was measuring more growth than it should be at 29 weeks. The doctor said it could be because she measures differently than my actual doctor, and at our next appointment if our doctor found the same thing we might do an ultrasound. She said it is NOTHING to worry about, but that some women just make big babies and they like to keep an eye on them. She said do you guys want an ultrasound, and of course we said YES YES YES!!! We thought we wouldn't get to see Laney anymore, so she said well I have medical reason I can call one in for you. We were so excited.
We then called a few places, and luckily there were a lot of openings for the same day, because of the everyone canceling due to the snow. Normally it takes a few weeks to get an appointment. We felt SO BLESSED.
We got to our ultrasound and the technician was FABULOUS! We spent a lot of time just watching Laney, and all her measurements came out to be just the size they should be. She is measuring exactly with our due date. The technician also checked the gender again for us, and YES she is still a girl :) It is funny, because we have had a hard time finding the gender all three times we have looked. Laney always seems to have her legs together! We decided that we have a modest young girl in there, and we are proud of that! You could clearly see those three lines they look for to determine if it is a girl.
Laney was so adorable. We spent a few minutes watching her play with her lips! She was sucking on her bottom lip and playing with her tongue. It was the most precious thing I have ever seen. It melted my heart, and it melted Jordan's as well!! We can't wait to meet our little girl, only 11 weeks left!!!
