The latest baby news
Today I had my second-to-last doctor's appointment here in Bloomington. As usual, I waited an hour to spend 10 mins. talking to my doctor. I like the doctor a lot, but it isn't easy chasing Amelia around for an hour.
We (mostly Michael) have finally gotten Amelia back on a reasonable sleep schedule. Yesterday she took a nap at one and went to bed at nine. Today's appointment was, of course, at one; so, Amelia fell asleep in the car on the way to the doctor's office.
When my sleepy daughter woke up she was magically transformed into her alter-ego, perpetual motion girl. She walked around and around the waiting room, playing with a 14-month old toddler boy. Luckily, the office had closed it's outer doors today. On the flip side, they had blocked the door leading to the examination rooms open, so I had to chase Amelia down the hall several times.
Everything I mentioned to the doctor was completely normal and the little baby's heart rate was strong and steady as usual. I felt pretty good, until the doctor pointed out that my next appointment would be in the 35th week of pregnancy. "That was when you went into labor last time, and I had just seen you and there was no indication it was going to happen."
Thanks for reminding me. I still have daydreams about hitting the call button on my flight to Phoenix and asking the steward to call ahead for a paramedic...let's keep our fingers crossed.
