Everything went great!
Just had to do the normal stuff:
-pee in a cup (did I mention my dr makes us use DIXIE CUPS?!)
-had BP checked (normal)
-was weighed (down 2 lbs from last month)
-listened to babys heartbeat (144 BPM)
-dr felt for fundal height (its at my belly button)
They offered to check for down syndrome & trisomy 21.
Since it was optional I declined since even if she did have one of them it wouldn't matter. I would never terminate. Never. Plus I'm pretty sure you can tell by u/s if they have it or not-since when I was pg with Braxton & I got tested & it showed he might have it they made me have 2 more ultrasounds 2 months apart looking for certain things.
I really thought I was going to have my "20 week" ultrasound scheduled for well, 20 weeks. But Dr. Kimmel wants to wait a month for some reason. So I'll be having it at 22 weeks. This was a big shock to me b/c she ALWAYS schedules for 20 weeks. I know because my SIL had her as a dr for all 3 of her kids as well as 2 cousins (and well me w/ Braxton) Even when I went to the receptionist to have her schedule them she tried to make it for THIS Thursday, so I told her Dr. Kimmel wanted to wait a month. She looked at me and said "Are you sure? You're 18 weeks right?" I said "Yes" and she said "Well we always do them at 20 weeks, let me check with the doctor." So she went and checked and came back and said "Okay well 22 weeks it is." So ugh. I have to wait a month. So May 19th I'm having my ultrasound (at 11 am) and then having my 22 week appointment with my dr at 1:30 pm.
Oh also, at my appointment they gave Braxton his Hep A shot since at his last appointment he was a week early. Usually he just screeeeeams when he has to get shots. But he did REALLY well! We did something different this time. Josh held him on his lap while the nurse gave the shot in his leg. He let out a big wail as the needle went in and then when she took it out he screamed "Owwie!!!" and that was it! He did so so good! I was proud. :) When we went into the exam room and I sat on the table Braxton looked at me funny like "why is mommy up there??" and then when I was getting my BP checked he kept looking at me all concerned. When the nurse whipped out the doppler Braxton immediatly recognized and pulled his shirt up and said "baby?" and the whole time we were listening Braxton said over and over again "Baby, baby, baby" It was cute! :) Since he did so good at the doctors office we took him to Mcdonalds for a happy meal and some play time! :)
Then we came home (Josh had the rest of the day off) and it was soooo nice outside so we sat outside playing with the dog for a little while. It's been an okay day! :)
