My 28-Week Appointment

I went in for what I thought would be a routine doctor's appointment...I mean, I've had them every month since I found out I was pregnant. Went in, hid my eyes while they weighed me, and went to the ladies room to give a urine sample. Just as I sat down to "do my deal", THE FIRE ALARM GOES OFF!! I quickly get myself decent, open the door, and the nurses are frantically running around getting people out of the building. 15 minutes later, the fire truck came...I don't mean to bust on the fire department or anything, but 15 minutes?? Good thing there was no fire...apparently when the people were there to install a new heating system, they spilled oil on it and it was creating a smell in the heating ducts, therefore setting off the alarm. Another 15 minutes later we were all ushered back into the office to resume life as usual.

I got situated in my room and the nurse came to take my blood pressure...WEIRD...IT WAS HIGH!! She took it again at the end of my appointment and apparently I had just had too much excitement and it caused a rise in my BP. It was all good at the end of the appointment.

As for my daughter...she's PERFECT...heart beating normal, moving around, and the doctor could tell what position she's in!! It was very exciting...I finally know what is kicking and punching where!! :)

I've now upgraded to appointments every 2 weeks!! It's getting close, people!

Well, I only hope your day is as exciting as mine...and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! :)
