Another Great Visit

Our visit with the doctor yesterday went very well. Everything looks great and seems to be right on track! We are still awaiting the results of my glucose tolerance test but I'm not overly concerned about it. They said no news is good news in this case.

We saw a female doctor for the first time and liked her much better than the men we've seen in the past. She actually asked questions about how I was feeling and if my asthma had been bothering me at all. You could actually tell that she had read our chart and was taking a genuine interest in what we had to say. If only the other doctors had been that way.

She said that the reason my right foot swells more than my left is because of a previous injury to that ankle and foot so it is not something to be concerned about. As long as the swelling is not painful and goes away at night time, there's no cause for concern. She measured my belly and let us listen to the heartbeat for as long as we wanted! I just can't get enough of that sweet sound and get teary-eyed just listening to it. We were advised not to travel far from home after 32 weeks, although this is a standard advisory, not an indication that something may be wrong.

We have to start going back to the doctor every 2 weeks now instead of every 4. That means we're getting closer! I can't believe I'm entering my 7th month already. My, how time flies! Neptune will be here before we know it!
