Doc appointment #3

I had another appointment today with the midwife... Here’s what I learned:

• Gained another 8 lbs, so I’m up a total of 13 lbs from my normal weight!
• New symptoms – heart palpitations, back pain, and headaches – are normal.
• Heard the baby’s heartbeat again – Thing is very healthy at about 150 beats per min.
• She showed me how to feel my uterus by putting my fingers an inch below my belly button and pushing in… a little freaked out that THAT is where my uterus now is.
• I have a new due date – June 30! Do the math. Hecho en Mexico... Does anyone know how to say "Thing" in Spanish??
• Our next appointment is on Friday the 30th... with the radiologist!

That means we find out if it’s a boy or a girl (if Thing cooperates and shows us)!!! And if it’s developing healthy organs, but mainly if I will be buying mini onesies of Beatles or Blondie!

how funny. a mexico baby instead of a turks and caicos (sp?) baby! remember all the joking about naming the baby Hannah? I think you may really have to consider it....given the circumstances. LOL

The midwife is awesome! I'm not really sure the difference besides she's a nurse that specializes in baby making, but she's awesome and I alternate appointments with her and the doc.

And Jess - we were thinking of naming it Paco.
