30 Week Check-up

Today I had my 30 week prenatal check-up. The doctor looked at my iron level and said the number was good, so I don't need to continue with the iron injections. I was so happy and thankful. 2 monitors were placed on my belly for 20 minutes and I was able to listen to my baby girl's heartbeat. It was nice to hear her strong heart, however I really don't like the monitors they strapped to my belly. They are VERY uncomfortable and I was so tempted to take the monitors off, but I didn't. I then went to the sonogram room and was weighed (I weigh 147 lbs) and my doctor came in and began the sonogram. Everything looks good. Her organs are working well, her head measures perfect (I always think one day he will tell me, "Wow your daughter has a big head"...because Philip's head is big, but he hasn't said that). She weighs almost 3 lbs. (So I can say I really weigh about 144!) Everything looks very good! I will begin going to the Dr every 2 weeks from now until she makes her grand appearance. At the end of February my Dr said he may decide to put me back on iron injections just to make sure everything goes well through March and until I have her. I hope I dont have to though. I posted a video of our baby girl on our flickr site. She's looking good and moving lots!
