Things have been (thankfully) very uneventful since my last doctor's appointment. The midwife had me come in a little earlier than usual since we will be on our cruise through Alaska when I should have my normal appointment. At my visit today they went over my blood test and NT scan results from my last appointment. Everything came back normal so far, but I still have one more blood test to finish up the NT test. I've only gained one pound since my last visit which the nurse was happy about and my blood pressure was perfect, as usual (hopefully it stays like that). The midwife checked the baby's heartrate on the doppler and it was nice and strong and the heartrate was 150. She gave me copies of all my medical info to take with me on our trip and scheduled my next two appointments.
Life has been pretty busy lately with the end of the school year and trying to get things ready for our big trip. I need to start doing belly pictures to document the pregnancy, but just haven't gotten around to it yet even though I have a nice little bump going on now. Maybe I can get Michael to take one tonight.
My next appointment is just to finish up my lab work for the NT test the first week of July. I go back the second week of July for my normal monthly check up. I'm dying to know the sex of the baby and I don't deal very well with waiting so I scheduled an appointment at an independent ultrasound place for when we return from our cruise. Michael thinks it is a little silly and would rather that I just wait til my 20 week ultrasound appointment, but part of the reason that I want to do it is just so I know that things are fine with the baby once we return from our trip. I want to be able to get the baby's room ready soon, so I need to know if we are having a boy or a girl.
We leave tomorrow to fly to Vancouver and on Friday we board the ship for our Alaskan cruise. I'm excited for our last big trip before our little one arrives!!
