Dr. Appt.

Today we had a regular check-up, which is now every two weeks. Hudson is measuring right on target and his heartbeat was great! He did not like the doppler heartbeat detector and kept moving away from the spot where they would try to measure the heartbeat, haha. I did have to get some blood work done because they are worried I have a Vitamin D deficiency, so we will see how that turns out. I'm not surprised about this, though, b/c I haven't had a stomach for dairy and there has been little or no sunshine lately. I also have to take an iron supplement in addition to my prenatal vitamins, b/c my iron is a little low. My mom has also had problems with low iron and Vitamin D, so it could be hereditary. Not any cause for concern for the baby, though. It will mostly help me with mood changes, etc. I've been very emotional lately, just ask Travis- poor guy! :)

In other good news, I actually lost two pounds since my last appt. two weeks ago! I know that some people might be concerned about that, but I didn't exactly start out thin, so it's not a cause of concern. I knew my appetite had been suppressed lately, but I was surprised that I actually lost weight.

Travis is picking me up from work today and we are going to take our tour of the Labor and Delivery wing at the hospital. I am super excited about that, and I know that will make it seem more real. Hard to think that I'll be checking in to have a baby there in less than ten weeks!

My next appt. is on my birthday, which promises to be a day packed with good things, and I'm excited! :) I'll have a doctor appt with an ultrasound that morning, lunch with co-workers and my baby shower at work that afternoon. Then, that night, Travis and I will be meeting up with Spencer (who will be in town for his annual convention) and he's taking us to dinner! :)

Praising God for another good appointment and getting excited about meeting Hudson! :)
