DR. APPOINTMENT #4!

I think week 23 has given me a small case of brain mush. I missed my appointment! I woke up the morning of thinking "Oh crap we slept all morning! Oh, but it's ok the appointment isn't for another 45 mins. So we got ready and made our way there. I signed in and sat down. I noticed the Dr. was away at the hospital that day so his appointments were slightly backed up anyway. Barry and I sat there as usual, and the secretary called me over. She says, "is there a reason why you couldn't make it to your appointment this morning?" I said, "What?! Isn't it at 9:45?".."umm, no it was at 9:15..." "OMG!" So I went to sit down so she could see if he could squeeze me in, but unfortunately he was too busy, so I rescheduled for 2 days later...GUHHhh I hate missing appointments!

So, NEW appointment day rolls around. Barry couldn't come with me unfortunately...so I asked my mum in law to accompany me. Dr. was about 45 mins delayed today, just my luck. I checked in, I peed, and we waited. We waited a little bit more. We did some more waiting. I started wondering if I was sitting somewhere where they couldn't see me and they just forgot. Last appointment of the day, we get called in. I weigh in at a whopping 108lbs! 4 pounds more since last month's appointment. Good sign, I guess. We listen to the heartbeat, and what a heartbeat indeed! Sounds like he's running a marathon in there, not to mention all the moving around he's been doing. He's quite the active little fella! Dr. M tells us that measurements and developments are all perfect! YAY!

I guess so far I've been doing everything right! That's quite reassuring since you can't exactly SEE what's going on. I've got another check in appointment next month, and after that I guess I see him every 2 weeks!

Other than feeling brain dead a lot of the time, the little guy has been moving around like a crazy person. I thought they were supposed to sleep 14 hrs a day, but I guess he might be an active sleeper. Sometimes the movement gets to be a little too much, and at time uncomfortable, but I suppose it's better to feel him moving than never moving at all! Oh, I can't forget to mention those amazing body aches! Gotta love those. They leave you walking stiff, as if you've been strapped to a piece of plywood or something. I wont miss those when they're gone, that's for sure!

So that is my week 23 update, time is going by so FREAKING fast, it makes me nervous!
