Dr. Appt. Update

Just wanted to write a little bit about my Dr. appt. today. It went really well. We have recently switched to a Dr. in San Luis Obispo which is an hour North of base. The new Dr. was really nice and young (which I like, she hasn't had time to become bitter towards crazy pregnant ladies yet). She talked to us about the choice of hospitals we will have when that time comes. She also listened to my concerns about driving an hour while in labor and the fact that my mom will be coming down to watch Chels when I have the baby. She agreed with me that maybe we should make this more of a scheduled event so she said she would induce me within a week or so of my due date. That took such a huge load off my mind! The Dr. then told me since this was my first visit she wanted to see the baby for herself so she did an ultrasound. The baby looked good. He/she had a nice strong heartbeat and was moving around. He/she is measuring a little small but the Dr. didn't change my due date.

She made us an appt. tomorrow for the Nuchal Translucency test. It is also up in San Luis Obispo (SLO) so I guess we'll be driving back up tomorrow. Oh well, this is the sacrifice we have to make to be happy with our Dr. and hospital. At least gas isn't too expensive right now!

Overall I really liked the new Dr. and I'm glad we switched. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the ultrasound tomorrow to scan in!
