32 weeks and 5 days

I went to my check up today. I weighed in at 133 lbs. I was happy about that. Before my appointment I had to go and get my blood drawn at the hospital. The lab technician had steady hands...he only poked me a little bit and out came the blood. (This was the same technician that had to poke me twice and started drawing the blood when the needle was not even in the vein). I think I just made him nervous back then. This time around I kept my mouth shut and prayed for him to poke my vein the first try. It was a success.

Well, the sound doppler thing to listen for baby's heartbeat was not available but she had one of those handheld ultrasound monitor. We were able to see Warrior 4 and his heart beating. The doctor made me kind of worried when she mentioned that Warrior 4 is still BREACHED. Then C-SECTION was all that came to my mind. Hellow! She then tried to make me feel better by saying that she and Dr. Chapman helped another woman turn her baby at 38 weeks and that I still had plenty of time. "Don't scare me like that, Lady Doctor!"

She continued to say if I had decided on sterilization. I asked her about the new procedure called ESSURE and she said that it was pretty safe but suggested that I do the tubal ligation right after delivery since I'm already at the hospital and blah blah blah. I quickly responded "But I've NEVER HAD AN EPIDURAL!" She answered..."Oh, then it's not a good reason to just get one. (the epidural) Well, you still have time to decide what procedure you want done." That conversation ended right there.

My next appointment is in two weeks.

***The result of the blood test is okay. A little low compared to the last which was a little high. I don't know if that's accurate because I was talking to the receptionist. I have to double check and ask doctor on my next appointment.

"Hurry, Miss! Take the picture! I need to go pee!" =) Just a couple of goofy shots this week.
