Paging Dr. Amelia - Stat!

Yesterday I took Amelia to my 24w OB appointment. The wait was long, but well worth it. Amelia was a perfect toddler, playing with another little girl in the waiting room. After about an hour wait, we got into see the doctor. Here's what happened!

Here's Amelia playing with the toys in the waiting room.



Dr. Amelia!
After a shouting match with Dr. Bley with who could yell "No!" the loudest, she asked Amelia if she wanted to help. Amelia said, "Sure." The result... Amelia got to smear gel on Mommy's tummy and got to help listen for her sister's heartbeat.



Heartbeat at a strong 150 bpm. Fundal height is 25cm. Usually it's 1cm for every week you're pregnant... so this baby is taking up a little more room (don't get too big!). Everything is looking good. Next appointment is at the end of June, followed by an appointment every two weeks! Yikes! This pregnancy is going by soooo incredibly fast! Before my next appointment, I have to take the glucose test. I like the fact I don't have to go back to the doctor's office to take the test - they just give me the drink and I take it when I want to... and then go into the lab, which is just up the street from me to get the bloodwork done. Easy as pie. +



After being at the doctor's office for an hour and a half, we went home. Amelia was acting giddy in the car!



Until next time!!!
