35 Weeks




We had been doing so well (relatively speaking) keeping a consistent schedule of belly pics, but that has clearly fallen by the wayside as school and classes drain me during the week and the weekends have become time to get some physical rest, classwork and get the house in order for the week to come.  But ready or not 35 weeks here we come!

Our doctor's appointment went well.

Ella's heartbeat--good...BP--good...weight-techincally good, but I suspect I am going to hit the ceiling of healthy weight gain:(...still measuring exactly on schedule.   We discussed our proposed birth plan, and my ongoing Braxton Hicks (this was for my mom as she is still not convinced that they are "normal").



We also got to meet the last doctor we had yet to meet in our practice.  You see we live less than 2 miles from the hospital and the OBGYN's who deliver there practice directly across the street.  The one catch so to speak is that you do not have a single doctor in the practice, rather you rotate through all of them and then whoever is on duty when you deliver is someone with whom you have met at least once.  Not being a particularly sensitive type, not having a dedicated physician is not a big deal to me.

We have liked each of the doctors we have met, but, for some reason we could not quite put our finger on, we liked this doctor the least.  With our luck, she will probably be the doctor on duty when we deliver so I guess we will either learn to like her or be better able to identify what we don't like soon!
