August 21,2008

Well today was another doctors appointment. And let me tell you things are getting a little ridiculous. Our appointment was at 3:40 p.m. We didn't get back to the exam room until around 4:40 p.m., and then we didn't get to see the doctor until about 6:00 p.m. Needless to say Ryan and I were not very happy when we left. But I just love my doctor so much that I don't really want to find anyone else. And I really do blame one of the other doctors in town who used to be an ob doctor, and then decided that she would quite that part of her profession, so unfortunately my doctor (and another doctor in town) has had to pick up her slack. Which means more hassle for all of us. Anyway, everything is good. Connor's heartbeat is at 150, and right when the nurse went to put the doppler on my stomach he gave her a nice kick. It's always pretty cool when that happens, it's still hard to imagine that there is a human being inside of me. We did get to ask the doctor a little more about our last ultrasound and why she scheduled us for another one in two weeks. The reason is simple, it's hard for her to measure me accurately with the tape measure, so she just wants to make sure that the baby to "liquid" (her words not mine) ratio are alright. This helps her see that more clearly. And the reason that we have another one is because she has to wait about three weeks in between to get an accurate account of his growth. So nothing to worry about. Thank goodness.


Here is the latest picture of Connor from our ultrasound on the 14th of August. It's a little hard to see but he is looking right at you I promise.
Love,
Vanessa, Ryan, and Connor
