On Wednesday I went for a checkup on little Miss Addison. This was the first time we had seen someone other than Dr. Grider, which made me a little nervous. We saw Dr. Dutton at this check up and she was fantastic! She was super nice and knew a lot about our personal lives from talking to Dr. Grider. That made me feel so much better. We have to see other doctors in the building because you are never guaranteed to have your doctor with you on the day of delivery, so you meet as many of the doctors as possible. Women's First, which we go to, has 12 doctors. 11 of them stay in the office and take regular appointments and one goes to labor and delivery. They rotate around, thus making you have a chance of seeing someone else in the delivery room.
We first talked a little bit to get acquainted with each other and then she started to check out our little girl. Here are some highlights of the appointment:
-Her heart rate was nice and strong...149.
-She is now head-down although she has a small chance of flipping around
-She is measuring right on track for a baby at 32 weeks
-Her little bottom is to the left of my belly button and her feet are at the top of my stomach (right along where your bra would rest) and her little feet are in my right ribs. I could have told you that!
We are now on an every 2 weeks appointment schedule and will be going back on June 1 right before we leave for our babymoon. I am so happy that our little girl is consistent with getting good check-ups and has been deemed "very healthy and strong."
