The Skoruppa's: Two appt's in two days!!

The last time I went to the Dr. which was March 8th I just got to see Mary Jane and she told me to come back in a month for another big ultrasound which those take place on Saturday. I was a little confused since I just had one and they said everything looked great but I didn't care cause it gave me another Saturday to do some shopping in Houston!!

Appt # 1 was Saturday April 2nd and I was exactly 25 weeks. Bert is tired of going to Houston with me so he decided to go cut firewood with my Dad, Uncles, and Aunt so my mom went with me. This was the first time she was going to get to see her grandbaby other than in pictures. We got to the appt a little early but that was ok cause the ultrasound tech was there and got us back earlier. It was a different lady than the last time which was fine cause I kind of liked her more. She was more fun to talk to!! After she was done taking all the measurements is when she let me look and took pics and explained everything to me. My little baby has grown so much in this past month he/she is now 2lb 1oz and is measuring at 26weeks 3 days which is 1week 3 days ahead but she said this is fine. And the hearbeat was 143. She got a really cute picture of the feet that I just love and will post at the end. When we were getting ready to leave she told me everything looked great. That is so good to hear!!

Appt # 2 was Monday April 4th. This is the day I had to take my glucose test and I also had questions for Dr. Cook about what his plans were since I have the cerclage (I really want to have the baby vaginally if possible) and being so far away from the hospital. My appt was at 8:45 and we got there about 8:30. I wanted to get this over with cause I was starving and so thirsty but on the other hand I've heard such bad things about the stuff they make you drink that I was dreading being there. The nurse called me back and weighed me and I gained 4lbs since my last appt, took my blood pressure which was good and listened to the heart beat which was 148 today. Then she told me to go do my lab work and when I was done come back to the room. So me and mom go to lab room and the lights are off and then they tell me she won't be in this morning cause she has an appt. Ummm hello why didn't y'all call me to reschedule before I drove all the way here. So then they ask if I want to come back next week and I was like no so they said I could go downstairs to another lab and have my work done so I went back to the room to tell my nurse. She tells me she will go ahead and send Dr. Cook in to talk to me before I go downstairs so I won't have to come back up...2 minutes later she pops in and says Dr. Cook isn't here yet would you like to see Mary Jane. Normally this is ok but I was really looking forward to seeing my Dr. and asking my questions so I told her I would wait. I mean how much worse can this appt. get?? Miraculously not even 5 minutes later in walks Dr. Cook!!! I was so happy!! He looked at my ultrasound pics and all the notes and he goes everything looks perfect...knock on wood!! He's so funny!! So I have a perfect little baby and the perfect pregnancy so far. As for my questions he said at 36 weeks they will determine what to do about my cerclage and I've read that around that time is when they would take it out and let you go into labor on your own which I am hoping for. And answered a few other things for me. As I was leaving he goes well I will be seeing you every 2 weeks now. I can't believe I am at the every 2 weeks point. So exciting!! We went down to do my glucose test which wasn't that bad to me at all. Now we just are waiting for results and hoping I don't have to do the 3 hour one. As we were leaving I called Bert to tell him all the good news and he goes of course our baby is perfect your perfect!! He can be so sweet!! Well that's it for now I will post my results in a couple days when I get them. Until then here are some pics.

That's a big belly I got going on!
