4 Month Check Up

Today I went in for the 16 week check up. My doctor is moving to Lexington!!! That's ok though. I plan to follow her right on over there. It's actually pretty good news considering she's moving to a practice that has a highly recognized high risk OB. She will still keep her privledges at Palmetto Richland for those of us under her care. Phew! Our check up went great. The heart rate was 151 and it was easily found this time. I guess he was resting because last month he was moving so much all you could hear was the movement. It took forever for him to slow down long enough for us to catch the heart rate. I was bummed a little though. I was expecting an ultrasound. At our first visit she mentioned bringing in a blank DVD for ultrasounds so. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering that I didn't have any and needed to buy one before my appointment. Walgreens is my one stop shop. They have everything! So I went bee bopping my way in only to find out that next month is when they will do one. Oh well. I still have my ways of watching Baby Satcher grow! Next months we will do an ultrasound to determine the baby's sex which of course we are pretty sure is a boy.

This weekend Wes is an usher in a friend's wedding. We are driving down to Murrells Inlet, so kind of a little get away. Unfortunately though clothing has started to become a bit of an issue. Tomorrow morning I'm on a mission to find a dress to wear. Odd I've only gained two pounds but the thought of even trying to get into any of my summer clothes makes me want to bury my head under the blanket. Dang I just realized I forgot to ask the doctor my number one important question!!! I wanted to find out if there is a possibility of eating too much fruit. Speaking of fruit, one of our students actually brought me one morning a huge fruit salad because he had heard me talk about my craving for fruit. He works at Publix while he is in school and just so happens to be the fruit cutter person. I was surprised by this enormous container of cantleope, honey dew, watermelon, strawberries, and grapes. I devoured that container in two days. Had I not been at work where I'm running around all day, I probably could have finished it that day! So sweet of him. Hmm. I better put on my to do list to pick up fruit for the trip tomorrow.

Back to pregnancy....ok apparently you have some out of this world dreams. Boy have I ever! A few nights ago I dreamed that I stole a beer truck. Obviously I am craving something I cannot have. The others not so funny but just whack. Ones where you wake up and you ask yourself "What was that all about???" Speaking of waking up, I get up at least twice during the night to pee. Today I had my first real sneeze and loss of bladder control situation. Thankfully I was at home.

That about wraps up this update. Not a whole lot going on right now, but from what I've heard from a friend who is about 6 weeks ahead of me things are getting ready to start happening.
