Last Monthly Appointment

Last Friday, Kevin and I had our last monthly doctor appointment with Dr.Richter. She gave us the results of Hunter's stomach/bowel ultrasound, and everything was normal. It was such a relief to hear her say that! I guess the tech had quicker hands than I thought, and was actually able to get a good picture of Hunter even though he was moving constantly during the ultrasound. I also did the glucose screening, which was actually worse than I thought. Everyone kept telling me how horrible the drink tasted (which wasn't my favorite, but wasn't as bad as I imagined). No one told me that some women feel nausea and want to pass out from it!!! Kevin was really great though, and fanned me with a magazine and held on to me while I tried to not pass out while waiting for Dr. Richter to come in our room. Of course, I was being my stubborn self and wouldn't let him go get the nurse. After a few minutes I felt better though, and Dr. Richter explained that some women have that reaction, so it was nothing to worry about. I will only hear from her office if there is a problem, so hopefully I won't hear anything the next few days. Dr. Richter then talked to us about classes we could take at the hospital to prepare for Hunter and finding a pediatrician. So now that I am off for summer break, I guess I will start calling around and setting up meet and greets with pediatricians. Not that I know what makes one pediatrician more qualified than the other. Luckily I have recommendations from friends, so I'll probably start there first. Now for the next two months, we will start seeing Dr. Richter every two weeks, so we go back for our next appointment on July 1st. It won't be too long before Hunter is here!!!
