I had another doctors appointment on Thursday, October 14th.
That morning, I got up, got the boys off to school, got dressed and went to work. Aaron was scheduled to have an appointment with his FINS officer and a dentist appointment that afternoon right after lunch but before my appointment. Unfortunately, his officer called me mid morning to tell me she would have to reschedule since she was not feeling well. I left at lunch anyway to pick Aaron up from school since I told him I would be picking him up around noon and knew he would not be eating lunch at school. We stopped by and grabbed a bite to eat before heading back to my office so I could finish up some work before heading to the dentist. The dentist office visit went well. I was amazed at some of the gadgets they had. We are trying a new dentist in Conway.
After the dentist we headed to Little Rock for my appointment. We arrived about 15 minutes late but I had called in advance to let them know I was running behind. I forgot my schedule of blood sugar checks, and Dr Henry wasn't happy about that. I have to fax them over to him. We measured my belly which is measuring almost 4 weeks further along than what I am. I was just 31 weeks, but my measurement was over 34 but just shy of 35. This coupled with the contractions I had been having, Dr Henry asked Karen to make sure she faxed my chart over that day to St Vincent in case I go into labor before my next visit. He did do a cervix check on me to see if I had started to dialate, and so far so good, everything is normal, no progressing at all. Although he did seem concerned, after doing the check, Dr Henry decided to wait once again before putting me on medication to keep me from going into labor.

Karen has scheduled an ultrasound appointment for my next visit on Oct 28th. I will go in that morning for my ultrasound, then the boys and I will have another full day of appointments as we head to their well checks, vision and dental exams, after which I will go back in and see Dr Henry for my OB exam. In less than 2 weeks I will get to see my little one on the screen again and bring home new pics. After that, I will have only 5 weeks until I get to hold him. It is getting down to crunch time. This is a little intimidating. I realized the other day that if I work up until I have him, I have only 31 actual works days left.
My baby shower is scheduled for Nov 13th at 2 pm in Conway. My friend Gena is hosting it for me. She told me last weekend she would have the invites out this past Tuesday. I hope she did get them mailed.
