Yesterday, I had a pretty good doctor’s appointment with Dr. M’s office. We had to wait 1.5 hours to be seen because the doc I was assigned to was stuck doing an emergency C-section. They were going to reschedule me for another day, but husb was pushy and insisted I be seen since I was “high-risk.” So they managed to squeeze me in. I told him not to act like that when I’m hospitalized! But I gotta hand it to him, he gets results.
My bp was good, mostly because I told the MA to give me a second to let my heart rate go down. Belly is measuring on target and my urine was fine. Up 3 pounds in 2 weeks. Been lazy and hungry!
Doc wants me to get a US to check my cervical length and see how MeMe is growing. Fantastic! I haven’t seen her in 4 weeks! Then we asked about the Cerclage Removal and we found out it will be on L&D at my hospital since it’s more sterile and I can be monitored for contractions. They will call me with the date that it will be scheduled but I should expect sometime after Sept 14th (36w1d). Yay! Hopefully I’ll dilate right away and only have like a week or two until labor starts. Mom thinks and dreamed that I’ll deliver on her birthday, Sept 24th. Another Libra in the house!
We got some info on local pediatricians and the form to pre-register for the hospital. The new doc trained with Dr. S. way back in the day and she was pretty sharp on addressing any concerns. We’ll see another doc at my 34 wk appointment.
We also just bought MeMe’s stroller and carseat on +arget.com and it should be delivered to our house sometime next week. After it arrives, then I’ll get the pack-n-play that she’ll be sleeping in. It matches the travel system and has music/vibrations to help soothe her. It has a changing station built in, napper, and bassinet along with the playyard on the bottom. We thought it was pretty cool when we first saw it, but now it’s no longer in the stores and we have to buy it online. You would think that if it was being discontinued, it should be on sale! It’s a freakin’ clearance item. Oh well. I just want it here by stitch cutting time.
I’ve been working on the Outdooring Party. I find it more exciting to figure out. Everyday I try to discuss it my mom or husb and I think they’re tired of me already! Can’t really plan for the baby anymore since a lot of it is learning on the spot. So at least now that I have plenty of time, I can start the prep for the party. I know when MeMe comes and I’ll be focusing on her that the thought of planning and organizing a party will be the last thing on my mind. Mom and I planned the food and invite list just last night. We’ll have lots of ladies helping on the day of the party.
