This morning I logged into the patients app and waited for my zoom call with one of my obgyns. She was almost 30 min late for my appointment, but that’s ok. We talked about what they had found on the baby during the screening and once again I was told I shouldn’t worry, it will hopefully be fine by the end. I also mentioned that I absolutely do not want a c-section (everyone in the US seems to get one), so we talked about that. We talked about future visits and things in general. I feel pretty great so not much to discuss really. It was quite hard to hear everything she said cause the sound kept going in and out, but I read her lips enough to know the important things:)
After my appointment ended I called the clinic to schedule my next in-person visit in four weeks and then I called the hospital to re-schedule the ultrasound appointment I have to a week earlier. Part the reason is that last night we booked ourselves a babymoon a la pandemic version:) I have to quarantine for two weeks once I’m back before the following appointment (it’s required if you leave CT or NY states) so trip and appointments have to line up with that counted in. The trip will not be what I had imagined (but nothing with this pregnancy is thanks to covid) but I’m excited and it will be a relaxing time for us and Thor (cause J insisted that we’ll bring him) before baby comes 😀
Baby kicked last night again btw. It’s very possible that I feel baby all the time but it’s usually so tiny that it could easily also just be muscle twitches, tummy gurgles or simply gas bubbles. But last night as I was falling asleep baby was very active. I didn’t know if J was asleep yet but I said out loud anyway “baby is kicking”. He turned around and I grabbed his hand to put it on the belly and almost immediately there was a big kick. I asked if he felt it and he said he did:)
I have like two million things on my to-do list and even if I still have tons of energy these days I somehow seem to be very slow in actually getting it done haha. I get distracted and start doing something that isn’t a priority on the list. And I have started to wonder if I have the so called pregnancy brain at times cause I’ve noticed that sometimes when I’m in the middle of doing something, I suddenly don’t remember what I’m doing and I go on to do something else. Very strange haha. But oh well. I take every day as it comes.
Today we are supposed to have a massive snowstorm. The mayor called last night (automatic phone message) and said it can be up to 6 inches of snow or as much as 12 inches (unclear what they think really haha). We’ll see. Supposed to start around 4pm today.
Hope you’ll have an awesome day!
