I went for my 26 week appointment today. Four weeks ago when i went and also today, i saw Dr. Smilie - not the most smiley man (in fact, i think his lips sit as a natural frown). It was the first time i met him in this clinic and somehow i avoided him my entire pregnancy with Gemma. When i saw him last month, all he did was talk to me about Japan and whether i had relatives there (even though i clearly told him i was not Japanese) and didn't ask me any questions about my pregnancy or well-being. Today, though, the visit was better. Although i think he is the worst doctor for trying to find heartbeats with the doppler. For a guy who does this A LOT, it takes him like for----ever to find the heartbeat.
anyways, all is well and appointments are now every 2 weeks (already??) and i have my requisition for my gestational diabetes test (gross) that i have to do within the next week or so.
In other news, my dear daughter is teething like mad and has the worst diaper rash ever. She is suddenly 6 months old again, constantly drooling with her fists and fingers in her mouth. Poor girl is fighting sleep like nobody's business, but otherwise is actually in really good spirits. She is soooooo chatty, constantly talking, and trying to mimic every word we say.
Today is my 27th birthday. Gosh, i feel old. Yet, i am so happy and content with my life and feel very thankful for all that God has given me. Oddly enough, i am at a place in my life where i had always hoped i would be, which is married with at least a kid by now. I've always wanted to be done having kids before my 30th birthday and it looks like i will be reaching that goal. And it was a really wonderful day.
