32 wk Check Up

Tuesday Neal & I had our Meet & Greet with a potential Pediatrician. Our appt was at 10 am. We arrived a few minutes late b/c I had to change since I wasnt going back to work. I really hadnt thought of any questions to ask Dr. Moriarty prior to driving to the appt, so I quickly went and searched for questions to ask your pediatrician...so I jotted a few down. Dr. Moriarty seemed very well knowledgeable and just seemed like a one of a kind doctor. Which was perfect b/c I only want the best for my baby boy. Neal came up with a few questions of his own and man was I impressed with the questions he came up with! She gave us some info on when Patrick will need to be seen for his routine check up and which appt's will he be given his shots. Now all we have to do is tell the nurses at St. Mary's that our pediatrician will be Dr. Moriarty and we will be all set for his first check up at 2 wks old. Neal & I left and I was hungry for Culver's but since it was too early Neal didnt want to go, So I suggested going to Perkins since he loves their muffins. So off we went to have our breakfast...well my 2nd one of the day! On the way home I was complaining about my bra being too tight...mind you I just got a new one on Sunday afternoon. So I dropped Neal off and headed to Hilldale to exchange my bra. After talking over with the manager she let me exchange my bra for a bigger size and I also got a bra that I can wear at night and I can also use it when we come home from the hospital. Later in the afternoon we had our 32 wk check up with Dr. Fitzgerald since our Ob was not in that day. We got their a few minutes early so I quickly checked in and then hurried over to the bathroom. When I got back Neal said they were ready for us....mind you I was dreading hopping on the scale. So I hopped on with a angry look on my face...147.2pds. Almost 3 pds since my last visit...YIKES!!! D-Day needs to arrive so I can start losing! My blood pressure was good...110/70. Dr. Fitzgerald came in and ask how I was feeling and I told her that I'm starting to get more uncomfortable...changing positions all the time both at night and during the day. She asked if I have had any Braxton Hicks Contractions and I said nope not yet...but she did tell me that they would probably show up in the next couple of wks or so. She asked if I had any questions and I said yep..so she told me to hope on the bed so she could measuring my growing tummy. I'm measuring about 33cm....right were I should be! We got to hear Patrick's heartbeat and as usually he is very strong! I asked her if Dean rent's breastpump's since I plan on breastfeeding but I dont feel comfortable spending 250 plus on one when I'm not sure if he is going to take to the breast or if I'm going to produce much milk. She told me that at St. Mary's you can rent them & then if he takes well to the breast I can always buy one when need be. I asked her what other test they will be preforming prior to due date and I will be having a Group B Strep Screen taken & if it is positive I will just have to be given meds while giving birth. I also asked her how long Dr. Neidhart lets you go past your due date before she schedules us to be induced and she said about a wk past your due date and then they will schedule it! So we will definitely will be celebrating a birthday sometime in March! So all in all we are all good till our next appt in 2wks. Can't believe February is right around the corner & that means Patrick will be here in about 7 wks or so!
