Saw the doctor yesterday.
Everything is healthy with the baby and he says that I am doing incredibly well! I have gained 12 pounds and he said the average pregnant woman has usually gained 15-17 by this point in the pregnancy. That made me happy because I sure do feel like a tank! :) Blood pressure is excellent, uterus is growing at a good rate, and baby's heart beat is strong and loud.
He eased my mind about getting an intra-thecal rather than an epidural so it looks like I will be delivering at Sierra Nevada after all.
I am also starting to like Dr. Rutherford! He was being cool yesterday and he shared with me that he was a doctor for the airforce for a very long time (probably explains his colder demenor).
One bit of bad news...he firmly suggests that I DO NOT go on the free trip I won to the Dopminican Republic. He said it is just too long of a flight and the risk for getting blood clots in my legs is just too high! Dang. Oh well, my health and the baby's health is what is important!
More pictures, more pictures! Thanks for blogging, Sab...I forgot about the blog until your email, but got all caught up and am SO excited to see you in a couple weekends! woooo! belly!
