Doctor's Visit

Had another Doctor appointment today. No protein in my urine, which is great! I haven't had protein show up in it for the last three visits! Yay! The doctor is having me do another 24 hour urine test just to make sure.

Today I had an ultrasound, which looked good, I had an NST (where they monitor the baby's heartbeat), which was also good. I lost two pounds since last time. My blood pressure looked good, and the baby looked good. Overall everything was doing good. The doctor did a Strep B test today, and did a vaginal exam. I have a feeling I know what the Strep B results will be, but I am glad that the test was done. The vaginal exam showed that my cervix has softened and I am 1-2 cm dialated and 20% effaced. Which means that my body is getting ready for giving birth to the baby. The doctor said that this is normal and is ok for me to be dialted at this point in my pregnancy.

Davy is moving around a lot. Last night I had some contractions, Braxton-Hicks I am sure. It seems crazy that Davy will be here soon. My dad pointed out last night that today we will be exactly 1 month from my due date. Craziness! Are we ready for Davy to come? Yes, but I still don't know if I am completely ready for the change that a baby will bring to our lives. Big changes, and they are all just around the corner!
