6 month Dr appt


This past Monday we had our 6 month Dr appt check up and since it had been 5 weeks since our last appointment we could not wait to see our precious princess. I had to do my glucose test so when we first got there I dank the wonderful orange drink in under 5 minutes and waited. We went back to the room, my blood pressure is good, my weight not so much but the OB didn't mention it at all so she must not be worried about it I think I worry more because of how hard it will be to get it off but its all worth it. Once in with the OB she said I am looking great that the anatomy scan came back great with no abnormalities which was such a relief to hear. I told her I have had maybe 3 braxton hicks that I could actually make out she was thrilled to hear that as I was already having several contractions by now with the boys. She measured McKenzie on the ultrasound and she is measuring 26 weeks 3 days so slightly bigger and she is approx 1 pound 9 ounces. I asked if they would be willing to follow a cesarean birth plan to a certain extent if I create one and to my surprise she said yes they would accommodate the best they could. I asked a few questions about my cesarean itself and she told me that I need to take it easy now, with more resting in between just to make sure I don't start preterm labor. My next appointment is in 3 weeks and I will have the glucose results next week. We discovered I have 6 more Dr appts before she will be born and that we have approx 99 days until she will be born based on the apprx scheduled cesarean date. I'm beyond excited and glad we had such a good appointment, we also made an appointment with the ultrasound place so we could see her alittle better and we will do that tomorrow so I will post a little photo shoot of her then. :)
