I went in for my third prenatal checkup on Monday, and everything is going alright! I am now 18 weeks pregnant, and have gained 13 pounds! The baby was very active, the doctor had to chase it with the dopplar because it kept moving around so much. The heartbeat sounded even stronger and louder this visit. Our next ultrasound is scheduled for the 18th of December and that's when we find out if it's going to be a girl or a boy! We're both excited. Jeremy wants everyone to think boy thoughts. He's not too happy with all the people swearing it's going to be a girl. I even had a stranger come up to me and say that it's going to be a girl! I really don't care one way or the other, everyone knows that Jeremy's going to dress it up in camo and teach it to hunt and fish regardless :o)
This visit was also my first visit with my new OB/GYN. The last practice was not working out, I was having one doctor tell me one thing at my first visit, and then another doctor tell me the total opposite the next visit. They were documenting things wrong in my chart, and Jeremy and I both were upset and not happy with my previous doctor's office. I now switched to a doctor who is extremely close to home and work, and will be delivering at Obici hospital 10 minutes away from our new house, and 3 stoplights away from my new work! The other doctor was wanting to have me deliver all the way in downtown Norfolk (a 30-40 minute drive without tunnel traffic)! My first impression of my new doctor was a very good one, and he made me feel more at ease. They also provide 3D ultrasound for the later ultrasounds, so stay tuned!
