OB appointment @ 23 weeks pregnant

Todays appointment went really well. Dr. Vendola was actually out of the office today, so I got to meet Bobbi, his mid-wife. She was really nice and personable and I look forward to seeing more of her. She said she had already become familiar with my name in the charts as she has looked over all the lab results, ultrasounds and charts that go into Labor & Delivery at the hospital. She also works at the hospital too.

She ordered up another ultrasound to check the cervix one last time, to make sure it is still closed and stable. I originally had this done at 14 weeks and it was okay then. Hopefully it will still be okay. Although I would think its too late to have a cerclage put in if it abnormal. I'll probably have this ultrasound done on Friday morning at the end of my shift when the next tech comes into work.

She measured my belly and measured out right. We listened to the heartbeat at a steady 148 bpm. She was even so nice as to try to include Lukas in the appointment events. She asked him to hold the doppler while we listened to the heartbeat. Although he did decline.

So for now, things look good, my blood pressure is still good, even just a little lower than normal bp, but thats normal for me. :)

Weight is at 153 lbs.

Feeling baby movements quite often now, about 2-3 times a day, when im sitting or resting.

Heartburn is still there after every meal and I expect it to be till the end. Just have to keep 1 of my 3 bottles of Tums near me. :)
