I've been released!

No more thyroid specialists appointments until after LO gets here! Doctor said that my levels are stable and he'll only call me for an appointment if my monthly blood work shows I need to. Other than that, I don't go back until December.

I had my regular OB appointment today. LO is extremely active and having a great time doing her tumbling routine. I can't wait to meet her!

After, I went to get my thyroid tests again, but was told I had to fast this time. So, off to the vampires again tomorrow.

Today it was back to the thyroid specialist. My blood tests are even better again. Dr. is very happy and will continue to do follow ups until after LO is here.

Next appointment is the last week of July with a full range of tests again. Dr. wants to make sure that he gets the GD test results as well since I've commented on gaining a lot more weight with this pregnancy.

Today was another uneventful OB appointment. I've now reached 143.5 lbs on the scales for a weight gain of a whopping 25.5 lbs to date. One more pound and I've beat my record for DS. Dr. is not worried in the slightest.

My blood pressure is 112/60 which elicited a perfect from the OB's assistant. LO's heart rate is 153. As per usual, the little scamp kicked the doppler as soon as the OB found the heart rate which made me wince. The OB apologized immediately, although I had to reassure her it was little miss being sensitive and nothing to do with her since I could barely feel the doppler.

I go back in 3 weeks since the office is under renovation, and then another 3 weeks after that.

Next week I have to schedule in the nasty glucose test. I'm not looking forward to that!

OB asked if I was still being followed for my thyroid, and I reassured her that I was and that I would see the specialist next week.

Hospital registration is tomorrow! I get to get re-acquainted with the hospital and see if anything has changed since DS was born!

My first OB appointment today. It was achingly boring. Baby's heartbeat is strong and she decided that it would be fun to kick me really hard while the doctor was using the dopler. I left the appointment with a grocery bag full of stuff that will take me until LO is in high school to get through. I guess I'll sort through it and get to the important stuff first.

Doctor went through the ultrasound results and it's official, LO's due date is September 26. All of the ultrasounds have come up with the same date, and when I told her it wasn't possible for me to get pregnant any later, she gladly wrote down September 26, 2009. We'll see how long LO decides to hang out in her own nice, warm, cozy womb.

Next appointment is in 4 weeks.

Today we got to see LO again. The technician didn't say anything and wouldn't comment on anything. All I came away with today is that our little girl's heartbeat is 144.

She's also a feisty little one. Whenever the technician pushed too hard, she fought back. I can't believe how strong she already is. She's already beautiful in pictures.

Today was my regular check-up. Baby girl's heartbeat was strong, so I forgot to ask how many beats per minute. Doctor confirmed that the tests fro my thyroid are coming back normal and doesn't foresee any problems, although she did mention I may go hypothyroid after the birth of LO. She did reassure me that my specialist will be keeping a close eye on me and if anything crops up, it will be looked after quickly.
