a very good doctor's appointment!

Today was my first OB appointment. First I had to visit with the RN so she could get all the info. She had some information for me as well which after having 8 pregnancies I already knew. Then on to see the doctor. My blood pressure was very good, and everything sounded very good as well. The baby's heart beat was healthy and strong! I figured a due date of September 15th but doctor thinks that might not be correct she thinks I might be a little further along because of the size I am. So I am scheduled for an ultrasound on May 25. It would not bother me one bit to have the due date a little earlier. I am always so awed by my God's loving hand when he fashions each little baby. I LOVE hearing my unborn baby's heartbeat. It is such a thrill to this mama!
I am feeling very good now, and look forward to my ultrasound.
Of course ones first visit isn't complete without a trip up to the lab for bloodwork! I have become so used to it, it seems like a second home these days LOL!
We are also hoping for mom's return home this Saturday. The doctor's keep giving her dates when they will release her, and then they decide to keep her in. She is looking at being discharged on saturday and then having to go back for a major surgery. Since she got to the hospital they have moved out of her 20 stones and there are still more! They have just started letting her have solid food as well. She is in very good spirits and loves to visit via phone or personal visits to her room. She is really looking forward to coming home.
