Allie: 34 week appointment, not so text book.

Yesterday morning for the first time ever I took D with me to an OB appointment. You know these appointments are 2 mins-in and out-check weight check BP, see you in two weeks. Well, yesterday not so much. My BP was fine, I haven't gained any weight since 2 weeks ago, but when the Dr. checked my fundal height I was measuring 31 weeks. She wasn't too concerned, but she was concerned enough to order an US. So we waited for the US and the baby is measuring great, my amniotic fluid-not so much. It's measuring at a 9. Which is normal, but on the low end of normal. (Should be between 7-23)So I have strict orders to rest, drink tons of water and come back next week for another US and to check growth again. My dr. said she wasn't too concerned yet, but she would need to see improvement next week to not be worried.

However, there was a highlight to all of this-well 2 really. First Dawson did wonderful!! I mean he was a total dream for the 1.5 we were there. All the nurses loved him and he sat in the chair and just watched everything intently. Secondly-Allie has hair!! Which is amazing b/c D was very bald. This explains the heartburn.

Lastly-for the first time EVER D told me he needed to pee!! Potty training is definitely working very well!
