Check-up

Yesterday was another doctor visit, which will now be weekly. Baby Gratz's heart rate was 142, my blood pressure is good, and I gained another 5lbs. over the last two weeks. When feeling my belly, the doctor said, "Wow, there's a lot of baby in there!" She assured me that was a good thing, indicating baby is growing at a good rate. It's definitely strong as the kicks and punches are bruising me from the inside! Oh... baby Gratz... are you going to be out-of-control like your daddy??? :-)

I asked my doc some specific questions about clamping the cord at birth and she mentioned a recent research article she saw but hasn't read yet. She promised to read it before my next visit so we could discuss. That's what happens when your patient is a psychologist... always wanting to know what the research indicates as best practice.

Yesterday at Schnucks I told the cashier I would need help out to my car. She wasn't paying attention and a few minutes later said, "Now what kind of cigarettes did you want?" Too funny...
