3rd, and hopefully not last, OB Appointment

Today at 34 weeks, 4 days pregnant, I attended my 3rd OB appointment this pregnancy :)

My trusty little buddy and I (big sister Nya-xo) reached our 12:50pm appointment at 12:40pm.

Nothing was new or out of the ordinary with this appointment. I signed myself in, filled the required urine sample and sat in the waiting room with the other mommy's watching 'Family Feud' on the big screen. Lol

One of the daddy's sitting next to me was really getting into the show and shouting answers out at the screen; he had all the other mommy's and myself smirking and chuckling quietly to ourselves. 9Lol

We were taken within 10 mins, weighed in and taken to a room to wait for the Dr.
Doctor Doyle was on staff today; it was the first time I've ever met her.

She was a very pleasant lady; patient and soft spoken.

They checked my blood preasure; all looked good. Listened to Sweet Pea's heartbeat; nice and strong! She measured my tummy; 33". She guestimated Sweet Pea's delivery weight to be around 7lbs. That would be awesome if it is!!! Nya was 6lbs 8oz and my delivery with her was a breeze. I'm praying the same this time around; no 9lbs+ baby...yikes! Lol

I have gained 5lbs since my last OB appointment two weeks ago. The nurse and I laughed and said it must have been the long weekend bbq where I gained the extra 3lbs as I've been pretty consistent with 2lbs every two weeks. Lol

It's either that or the steak and ribs Dennard and I indulged in twice in the last two weeks. Lool
They were so good that Dennard asked me to make them again; almost back to back, a few days apart. Ha ha ha

She checked my chart and believe it or not, I weigh almost the exact weight as I did with Nya when I was 34 weeks pregnant; just 2lbs more.
I thought that was pretty neat! Two separate pregnancies at two separate times in my life,yet almost identical weight gain. I was born to have babies I guess!! Lol I better talk to D about the possibility of a third; just kidding!! Lol

My next OB appointment is in two weeks; June 3rd at 12:45pm. I'll be 36 weeks pregnant then. That would have been my last OB appointment that I had with Nya as she came at 37 weeks. I hope that it won't be my last appointment this time around. Lol

I've got too many things going on in June for Sweet Pea to decide making an early appearance.  I have bday parties almost every week, a church concert the second week of June that I'm performing in, Nya's 3rd bday party the third week of June....etc.

This little one has to stay put until the end of June. Lol

The bday parties are the least of my worrries; however, what I am concerned most about is her coming on the day of the concert or the day before or on Nya's Bday party :/ As long as I can make it past June 20th, I'm good with that! Lol

After my appointment I took Nya to Costco and treated her to one of their yummy chocolate, waffle cone, ice creams. I always treat her to a little something after each of my OB appointments. Just a little something to recognize her, bless her and see her happy :) She deserves it!! She is such a good girl and very rarely ever gives me any problems.

Cheers to another fantastic OB appointment, a great report and good health with myself and Sweet Pea :)

Birthing Videos
I just spent the last half hour as dinner was cooking watching birthing stories on YouTube. I cried all my eye make up off! Lol I haven't watched any of these videos since I was pregnant with Nya; it still has the same effect on me.....tears, tears and more tears of joy! Lol

Seeing that I'm drawing close to the birth of our Sweet Pea, I thought I'd prepare myself once again an watch a few of these videos.

I forgot how emotional I got watching these videos, but more importantly, I forgot how graphic these videos can be at times :/ WOW!!!

To witness what a woman's body goes through during labour and delivery is quite remarkable....and yet disturbing at the same time. Lol  If there was a camera on my face watching these videos you would have seen every expression known to man cross my face!! Lol You would think I was watching a comedy, then love story, suspense and a horror flick all in one! Ha ha ha ha

Mental note for this birth; ensure my husband stays at my shoulders. Lol
