I made it out of MA before the weather got bad. We left MA around 6:00 AM. After a stop or two, we were in northern NJ and the snow started. It was pretty bad with limited visibility. The further south we went the slushier it got then it finally turned to rain. After much traffic in DC and No. Va we finally arrived at my parents house. No matter how long I have been married and out of the house this is still my "home."
Back to week 26 - it went well. I managed to get in a few walks. My doctors visit was actually pretty funny. I had the whole family with me. My own doctor was running late so I was waiting for one of the other doctors in the practice. I don't really mind if I meet everyone else or not since I have a scheduled c-section and my own doc will be doing it. That said the doctor we got was very personable and made for a fun few minutes.
I gained one pound which this doctor said was fine. Then he measured my "bump." He said I was measuring big but that was OK since my c-section was scheduled. He asked how big the boys were at birth (7 lbs and 10 lbs). When he heard about the 10 lb'er he said "WOW - good thing you are having a c-section!" We all chuckled. Then the doc listened to the heartbeat. Again it was in the 150's. DQ and I were getting all excited at which point the doctor said "There is absolutely no correlation between the heart rate and the gender of the baby." DQ and I looked at each other and DQ said "This is my balloon and you are the pin that just popped my balloon!!" We all had a good laugh.
That said we still left the office thinking that maybe possibly it was indeed a girl. My own doctor said that it sounded like a girl so we were going to go with what she said!
At my next visit, in just two more weeks, I have to take the glucose test. UGH. Of course I want to know if I am starting to get gestational diabetes but that drink is so yucky!
til next week -
