Doctors VIsit

After rushing out of work early, Tim and I drove our now 45 minute drive to the doctor today for our appointment only to hear that he was an hour behind schedule due to delivering twins. While slightly inconvenienced, when it's my turn I'm sure I won't be too worried about the patients in the waiting room. Finally he arrived and we had a good appointment. Everything is perfect! This is our last four week stretch between appointments. Starting in November I will get an ultrasound every other week to check on the 'aging' placenta and in December I will go every week. This weekend I have my diabetes test. This consists of drinking a very sugary drink and then having my blood drawn to see how my body reacts to sugar. Hopefully it comes out good because I will be really sad if I have to give up sugar. I also learned at my appointment that there is a heredity component to labor which means I may be early. Then again, Tim and I have learned there is no planning with Hannah, she is in God's hands and will most likely do the opposite of what we think. Hannah is now 2 pounds and is more than a foot long. She seems to like when her daddy plays her music on his phone as she starts to move around. Her hearing and taste buds are at this point strong. Eyes can now open, but eyesight is weak. As for me, I am looking forward to putting away her many generous gifts this weekend and preparing her special room.

  1. hey lesley! we knew that phone was good for something besides sports scores. Not surprising that Hannah likes the music. After all the love of music and dancing does run in through the Tatum genes. Yeah for Hannah (and mom. She's getting big. Heard of a 4 week early baby today. water broke. healthy baby 5lb 12 oz. Thought of you.We'll all be prepared, early or late. Love you and Tim and precious Hannah from Mom2 aka Nana
