I went to see the doctor yesterday afternoon and actually got right in instead of waiting an hour and a half in the waiting room. Wohoo! Apparently the exchange for speedy service was dealing with a nursing staff with no personality. I guess I'll take that exchange any day. In good news: I've gained weight! *ahem* ...6 lbs. in a week and a half to be exact. Sooo....I got a little overzealous with the campaign to pack on some pounds. The nurse actually gave me a little stink eye for gaining too much weight to which I wanted to reply with any number of snarky pregnant lady comebacks: Seriously? Lady, you've been giving me stink eye for the last eight months because I haven't gained any weight and now that I finally go overboard you're disappointed? Gah! I just can't win. Luckily my doctor had just come from seeing a woman who had gained 20lbs over the last two weeks, so I don't feel bad. It was worth it for the pie.
But seriously, things with Bailey are looking good. She scoots away and kicks any time they try to listen to her heart beat, but the fact that she's so active speaks well for her. The Doc checked and found out baby's head is "way down" I'm assuming that means she's already dropped, but she couldn't tell if I'm dilated or effaced yet (I would guess that means no). Apparently my uterus just wasn't feeling cooperative. Better luck next time.
I'm to the point now where I'm going in every week for appointments and people are starting to look at me yet again like I might explode. Looking at the January calendar, I've tried to pin point some event every week that I'd like to make it to while still pregnant, so's not to get my hopes up that Bailey will come early. It's not easy. Mostly because these "events" are silly things like hair appointments and Bunco night. It's going to be a long month!
