Dr. APPOINTMENT #5!

27 weeks in! Can't believe it's close to be over. I don't know how I feel about that. I went in for my Dr. appointment. For those who don't know. I'm moving back to Canadaland, so this was my final appointment with Dr. M. It felt pretty weird, almost like a breakup. I've gotten so attached to him as our Dr. and he was sooooo awesome, so it was pretty hard. I will definitely miss him!

I weighed in at 109 lbs. I was a little concerned that I had only gained a lb. in a month. Dr. M came in and monitored the heartbeat and said "perfect". Measured the bump. He sat down in his chair and looked in his chart and made a note and said "welp, you're completely normal and boring." Hah! I'm sure going to miss his sense of humor! He then ordered a lab sugar test which I'll have to do tomorrow, I didn't really have it in my schedule to sit down for an hr and drink sugar water. He then gave me a copy of my medical records to pass on to the next Dr. I had to ask him about the 1 lb weight gain. He said it was completely normal, and even looked at me like "why are you even worried" GEE I DONT KNOW THESE THINGS I JUST THOUGHT I HAD TO GAIN LIKE 30 LBS! Anyway, we were all done. Then we left. Sad, but glad I'm normal and boring ;)

So far I feel good, at times I wish I had a wheelbarrow or some kind of support, like crutches or something to help carry my belly around. It gets really heavy at times. I wake up sometimes during the night because of the kicking going on and boy is there kicking! So I try not to move too much in case it wakes him up and thinks it's time for moving and kicking. Other than that, the thought of supporting a baby financially has been creeping up more and more on my mind. I try not to stress out too much about it, but it's one of those things that you can't exactly escape. I know that's been floating around Barry's head a lot too. I'm sure we'll figure it out though, things usually seem to work out pretty well for us...eventually. Just have to stay positive! :)
