doctor appt 33 w 3 d

today jeremy and i went to our routine doctor appointment. we got there and i did the basic stuff that i usually do but this time they couldnt get my blood. they tried both arms but couldnt get it from either. i dont know why that happens because i drink water all the time, even throughout the night when i get up to go to the bathroom. so its not like im dehydrated. the nurse decided after the second try that we could just try again after the appointment.

during my appointment we had an ultrasound. i asked to get pictures if he had turned. of course he was still facing my back! not only that, but he is now breech! nice. i know we still have time for him to turn so i am not too worried about it. the doctor also asked if we knew what the sex was and we told him it was a boy and he said "are you sure?" so that scared me a little, but he just verified he was a little boy! hehehe the doctor took some measurements and told me that xavier is going to be a big baby! after the ultrasound he told me that xavier is measuring about 6lbs 4oz! i have never ever been told his estimated weight and they told me today! i know that its only estimated but that still kind of scares me. i keep thinking, what if i go early, or what if he is going to be this massive 10 lb baby?! i have about 6 1/2 weeks to go. if he stays in the full 40 or even later i know i am going to have a huge baby! eek!

when we were done i went in for my first non stress test. they strapped these 2 monitors to my belly and i had to sit there for about a half hour. during that time we could hear his movements and he was moving like crazy! it was cool. when that was over, a different doctor came in and talked to us about the epidural and stuff and went over some paperwork i had to fill out. i was supposed to choose whether or not i want the epidural or if i want to wait until i am in labor to decide so i chose to wait. i am still going for the natural childbirth and really hope that i get that.

after that we went out to make another appointment and to get my blood drawn. they got this lady that has been able to get my blood before and i told jeremy that she is a pro at getting my blood and sure enough, she got it with one poke! haha i was happy about that. we set up our appointment for 2 weeks and we were on our way!

that doctor visit was over 2 hrs long! eek! i was pretty tired because i was pretty much up at 5:30 when jeremy got a call on the duty phone. poor guy! i felt bad for him because we went to bed a little later last night because he could sleep in a little bit because our appt was later.

i am getting so excited for xavier to be here, not too much longer now!! this weekend is easter and i am thinking about making a nice easter dinner. the only bad thing is i LOVE ham for easter but jeremy isnt a big fan of it so i am not sure if we will have it. i may have to think of something else and also make ham for me! =) who knows!
