What an eventful doctor's appointment! First off, Dr. Sammarco was off delivering a baby this morning and was running late. At first we were going to just wait for him to arrive, but after a few minutes of waiting the nurses decided they would check in on Sparky this time. Sparky, as usual, decided to be wiggly and uncooperative for the poor nurses who were trying to count her heartbeat. After about 5 minutes of trying, without success, to find Sparky's heartbeat for more than a few seconds, the nurses decided she was doing just fine.
We have now progressed to the point of every other week check-ups. I am not too excited about this possibility. More time out of work means more phone messages to answer on Wednesdays when I get back after my appointments. We also have the pleasure of doing both the glucose tolerance test and the Rhogam shot next visit. Just my favorite things to do get a shot and have blood drawn...
Not only was Sparky super active this morning for the doctor, she continued to be wound up all day long. There were a few points during the day when I thought I may actually groan or scream from all the kicking that was going on. I'm sure my co-workers would not have appreciated my noise as a result of Sparky's activity. At some points I decided that working standing up was more bearable than sitting. This is the type of behavior we are hoping does not continue after the birth. On the bright side, this may be an indication that Sparky has decided not to be a night owl anymore. Having a baby who sleeps through the night would be a wonderful surprise.
We are hoping for an uneventful next two weeks and for another uneventful doctor's visit next time around.
