We went to see my OB/GYN today and have a new photo taken of Mackenzie. She decided to pose really wild for us today and put her foot in front of her face. I think she’s destined to join the circus…or she could be a dancer. 😉
We did something new today – a CTG or cardiotocograph, listening to and writing a little chart of Mackenzie’s heart for about 30 minutes. I’ll be doing that every time I go to the doctor now which now jumps to every two weeks. Going to be seeing a whole lot of the inside of those offices in the future. The people there are friendly at least…but not quite as nice as my dentist.
At any rate, Mackenzie is still growing fabulously and on schedule. Everything has grown where it should, is the right measurements and so on. She was moving around like a disco star today and apparently wasn’t too fond of the CTG cause she actually situated herself where she couldn’t be measured for a few minutes. She also wanted to hide from the doctor today and had her back to us which is why the photo is a bit strange and not so clear.
The doctor also made the world’s biggest mistake and told a pregnant women she’s getting fat. Well, he actually just said something to the effect of, “So you’ve really been enjoying your food lately, huh?” He pointed out that I’ve gained about 8 kilos (18 pounds) but only about half of that is baby. In my defense, I think it’s a bit less since my before weight was without clothes and I’m weighed with clothes on at his office…but I’m not sweating it. I have been eating a bit more junk food lately…but it just tastes so good. And maybe less baked goods. I know I’ll have to pay for it later if I eat it now- but since I only seem to be gaining weight in my belly & boobs, I think I’ll survive. Plus I have more guys checking me out than ever before (which is pretty unnerving at the same time) but that must mean things are looking good. 😉
