Another Checkup Down

We went to the clinic yesterday for a check up with the doctor. I'd just seen one of the docs from my clinic on Sunday, and were in again, talking to another doctor on Thursday. They're getting to know us! Our favorite nurse was there, and we were glad to see her. She's jovial, kind, funny as heck, and loves Diet Coke. Oh yes; knowledgeable and wonderful nurse to boot. Even better - she gives my husband a hard time, always. I like it.

Baby sounds good on the doppler. Great heartbeat, still moving around a lot, and at the end had some hiccups. My blood sugars are looking pretty good. The focus right now is to avoid high blood sugars as much as possible. Lows are disruptive to me but less dangerous for Cletus. Next week we'll have an ultra sound to check for size, and status of the amniotic fluid and placenta.

I chose a new perinatologist to be my main doctor, since mine is leaving the clinic at the end of this month. Sad! I'd picked her more than four years ago! I did have plenty of warning about this transition, and no thanks to my couple of hospital visits, I've met and liked several of the practitioners. Smooth sailing. I don't even think it's me being easy-to-please; they are all really good.

Week 30 is nearly done. I've been pretty lazy this week. Haven't been stressing about getting much done. Watched some interesting videos online, listened to music that Cletus' Dad put up on our 'media center', knit a few rows, read some online forums. One of my favorite diversions is playing Scrabble on my phone. My friends are smart as heck, and keep me on my toes. Some of them regularly kick my booty, but I keep on going back for more! (Plus it helps my vocabulary, ha.)
