Last Monthly Dr.'s Appointment...

   Today, 26 weeks 3 days, was my last monthly Dr.'s appointment! It went well and I will now go back every 2 weeks!! To me this is very exciting. Time goes by so quickly when I have a Dr.'s appointment to look forward to. Baby's heartbeat was in the upper 140's-150's. Everytime Dr. Helton would place the doppler probe on my belly, baby would kick it. It was awesome! They checked my iron and in the next week or so I will have my gestational diabetes screening done. Yum!

   Other great news is I can go back to clinical just 2 weeks after having the baby! This has been a concern for my instructors/dean. They recommended that I take 6 weeks off. What tha?!?  I only have 10 weeks after delivery until graduation. So basically, they were wanting me to postpone graduating until Decemeber. I have been EXTREMELY stressed since my intructor told me this. I mean STRESSED. Anxiety, mood swings, depressed... any of the symptoms associated with freaking out... I had. But haha! Dr. Helton said that if everything goes as planned and I have a normal vaginal delivery then I can get right back to work in 2 weeks. Boo ya! I have a meeting with the Dean on Dec. 6th to discuss "the plan" and hopefully get it approved. Now I pray that I get the go ahead from her and that I have a smooth delivery with no complications!

** Next appointment on Dec. 5th**
