SubscribeThursday I had another midwife appointment. Everything looked great. Scott came with me, which was nice. He was nice about it, I know it just isn’t something he is really into doing. But I wanted him to come so he could hear the heartbeat. She did all the tests–pap, urinalysis, breast exam, and blood work. I weighed 139, which I was pretty happy about. I have gained about 2-3 pounds depending on the day and the scale. Then we got out the Doppler. She started listening really low down by my pubic bone. She tried for a while and started to look frustrated, and I started to get worried. Then she asked me “Where did we hear it last time?” I pointed to the spot up higher, just to the left of my belly button. She tried there, and voila–perfect little heartbeat!! She said that it was odd to have it be so high this early. Becky said that means that my uterus is tight, which is apparently a good thing. I also asked her about feeling my fundus, and she said it is difficult to feel on me because my abs are so tight 
After that Scott and I went to Circuit City and I got a new cell phone with Verizon. I am happy that I finally got to switch. We did a few errands. It was just nice to be together alone. I really enjoyed his company!
Then Emma had parent teacher conferences. Scott and I went and it was so cute. Emma got glowing reviews. Mrs. Britton kept saying that Emma is amazing. She knows all of the letters, and can count to 24, but skips 15. She has already learned everything that they hoped she would learn by the end of the year. But more important to me, Mrs. Britton said that Emma is a joy to have in class. She said she gets along great with the other kids. She is very social, and loves to play. She is great at playing with everyone, and doesn’t cling to one person. Those are thing things that I think are the most important right now! I am so proud of her!!
I can’t stop thinking about Steph! I heard that she was going to the hospital yesterday to be induced. Dava was supposed to go when they broke her water. I thought sure we would hear from her yesterday. Hopefully everything is going OK. I can’t wait to hear!
