Doctor Appointment - 32wks 4 days
So today I had my doctors appointment.  I have had a lot of frequent bowel movements and splitting back pain, so I mentioned it to my midwife and she was concerned.  She tested me to see if I was going into preterm labor.  Also, they hooked me up to a fetal monitor to check Noah's heartbeat and movement since he also had'nt been to busy the last few days.  All this had me so worried! They told me they would call me later and tell me if the test was positive (pre-term labor) or negative (nothing) and they called and said it was nothing.  The midwife told me to quit consuming so much dairy products and possibly I just have a stomach virus causing the bowel movements.  Then, when she measured me I was measuring about a week and a half ahead of my due date, which she said wasn't really a problem but that she just wanted me to have a US done by them...since my last one was done at 20 weeks and by the OB.  So...on Thursday I will go for my US at Methodist, then Friday an apt. to talk about it and check up on me & Noah.  All this stuff had me terrified and made me regret saying, "I just wish I would have him now," because I would hate that! He isn't done cooking yet, and can NOT come out of the oven yet.  Besides that, we still need to get NB diapers, some NB clothes, clothes, and some other things.  I realized...after worrying and then being told that my baby and me were both fine that I am tremendously lucky to be having an OK pregnancy and to have no complications! I couldn't imagine having to go to the doc. all the time and having to worry about how my baby is and if it is still alive.  God bless you women who have to put up with that fear/anxiety/worrying for nine months! I couldn't handle it.  Well, thats my day and tomm. we have child birthing classes, getting our maternity pictures back & are going to my grandpa's house to see a relative who was unable to come to my shower to get their gift for us.  Then on Sunday we are going to Jolly Holiday Lights with Andrew's family.  So we have a busy weekend ahead!!! Maternity pictures coming soon! Have a good weekend! :]
