30 Weeks

Our Dr. Appointment on May 18th went well. Baylee actually had her 3 year check up with her Pediatrician, so GiGi took off work and went with us! It was a really nice "girls" day. (I actually requested the presence of Tamra b/c I knew they would be giving B several shots... I'm a HUGE chicken when it comes to needles and knew I'd need more support than the THREE year old who was getting them!)

Anyway, on the way to Decatur we explained to B that she was going to the Dr. and she was going to get a shot. She never really freaked out, she just said over and over that she didn't want a shot. (like the whole hour and a half it took to get there!) I thought I should tell her so that it wouldn't take her by surprise when we got there... next time I'll prepare her about 15 minutes out! Lesson learned on that one!

Dr. Lovette was SO excited to see her! She said she is a perfectly healthy little girl. She has finally reached the 50th percentile in weight and height... (we grow little people around here!) She weighed 29.5 pounds and was 36 and 3/4 inches tall. It took Dr. Lovette about 5 minutes to get B to show her the inside of hour mouth... I find this strange b/c all she ever does is Jabber!!! It took me bribing her with McDonald's and Ice Cream to get her to open her mouth for about .5 seconds! Then of course she got to keep the tong depressor and kept trying to "play Dr." on Momma the rest of the visit. (I almost lost an eye!) The nurse that gave the shots to B was AMAZING! I had barely gotten her up on the table and she had already had the shots done! B only cried for a second and I was so relieved I could have kissed that lady! She is good at her job!

After B's visit... it was my turn. I wasn't really sure if I was suppose to get my *RhoGAM shot at this visit or if that would be later, so I told B on the drive over that Momma had to get a shot too. (*RhoGAM is something I have to have at 28-30 weeks and after I have the baby, b/c I have a negative Rh factor in my blood, O neg.) So, when we got seated in the exam room for my appointment, Dr. Smith walked in and the first thing B asked was if Momma was going to get her shot! I guess she just wanted to keep the playing field equal! I did have to get the RhoGAM shot, it was AWEFUL... I wanted to cry but I didn't... I knew I had to be strong for Baylee's sake! (ha!) Seriously... that needle was HUGE! It looked like something Byron uses when he doctor's the cattle! Even Tamra commented on how big it was. Like, it left a bruise! (sniff, sniff)

Dr. Smith said everything was looking great. Baylee and GiGi got to hear Little Saydee Lynn's heartbeat! That was really neat... to get to see their faces as they listened to Half-Pint's heart! I'm still feeling great, well except for these darn allergies and that has nothing to do with the pregnancy... so all is well! I go back on June 1st!!!
