OB Appointment today went great. I have gained a good deal since the last visit, but Dr. wasn't too concerned. About 7 lbs. Considering all of the holidays and extra food, guess a little more than usual is expected. : )
My blood pressure was good at 109/66 and the baby's heart rate was 133.
Apparently, C's Grandfather is a retired OB and actually worked with our OB several years ago. He called our OB to talk to her and say hi and that she was seeing his Granddaughter. Hehe. I mentioned it to Dr. B and we talked a little about the conversation. She said when he first started talking to her that he didn't mention any names, but then once he told her my name and I was the surrogate, she knew exactly who he was talking about it. Such a small world.
My company Christmas party is coming up and it is at a bowling alley, so I talked to her about that as well and she said that it would be fine for me to bowl. Yea! She was more concerned about a shoulder or elbow injury. She said to just be conscious of my balance. I did also talk to her about the Pertussis vaccine and she said that I can get it anytime before the baby is born. She said that it has been quite prevalent recently and that if I get the vaccine, it will protect the baby for 6 months after birth as well. I had talked to C about this prior to the appointment as well and she already has the vaccine and was going to tell W to get set up to get a booster too. Typically, anyone that will be around the baby will need the vaccine. I will get it at one of my appointments over the next few weeks.
