Today was my next monthly Dr. appointment. All is going well! Mom has gained 12 pounds so far and Baby is measuring as she should be, has a strong heartbeat and is an active little one.
On my way to the doctor's office I like to turn the radio up loud and dance and sing to the music to calm my nerves before my appointment. I'm one of those people that panics when it comes to the thought of doctors or dentists and usually my blood pressure is high by the time they go to take it. The singing and dancing relaxes me. Well today on the ride, about half way into the 2nd song where I was jamming, baby girl decided she was going to dance with me. She poked and kicked our whole way to the doctor's office to the music. She's definitely practicing her dance moves when the music comes on!
Baby girl has started settling into wake/sleep periods. She's usually active every 3 hours or so while I'm awake. It's a fun experience. Earlier this week she would poke me in a spot, then I'd poke her right back, then she'd poke me, and I'd poke her right back. It's almost like we were playing our own little game. Experiences like that definitely put a smile on my face!
My next appointment is in a month and that appointment is the fun drinking one where the doctor tests for gestational diabetes. The nurse told me that the drink tasted like "Sunkist" which I do like so hopefully I can down it like a champ. We're also looking to do a 3D/4D ultrasound sometime between mid-June to mid-July which will be our next chance to get to see baby girl up close and personal. It's still hard to believe that I'm 23 weeks pregnant and entering my 6th month of pregnancy. Time is just flying by!
