We went to the doctor yesterday, July 20th, and had a routine visit. My BP was 92/56 (I believe) and I weighed in at 131. That means I gained 5 pounds in 4 weeks. We heard Tina's heartbeat, and she sounded good. My belly measurement was 24/25 so right on/a little big. No biggie. It's my third, I feel huge, life is grand! :) I have been getting leg cramps, to which Eryn suggested taking Magnesium and Calcium at bedtime. So now I am taking 5 vitamins in the morning, and then a Magnesium tablet and a Viactiv Calcium Carmel Chew before bed. I have also been having occasional low belly pain, just constant pain, no cramping or anything, so I am looking into getting a belly band. I just have a feeling that will make me hotter than I already am, but the extra support would be nice. Oh yeah! The nurse gave me my yummy Glucose drink. I got orange this time. So I will be taking that test at 28 weeks, on August 16, the day after we get back from our week in Iowa. We are going about 2-3 weeks later than usual this year, but I really wanted to go to the State Fair!
Here are two pics that Casey took tonight before he left for D.C.
You can see Leah's hands as she cried and said "up" because she was not happy that I put her down! The poor girl is going to have a rude awakening when Tina comes!
One more 4 week visit, then I will be going every 2 weeks. I have my appointments set up for Mondays through the September, and at one of my next two, I will probably set up my 1 weeks appointments as well. I told Casey I will be seeing the new doctor that is starting in the practice in September, so hopefully he will start going with me again so he can get acquainted with all of them again, as both Jacqueline and Leah were delivered by Eryn and she will be on maternity leave when Tina comes. New delivery doctor, here we come!
