Hooray 3rd Trimester!

The doctor was surprised to see Dad-to-Be sign in for today's appointment instead of Gina! Let's just say if our child is destined to be a race car driver, they will want to take after their good old Dad. In all fairness, I beat Gina to the doctor's office by about 10 minutes, because she was drinking and driving! Today was the big gestational diabetes test day, which consists of guzzling a cough syrup sized bottle of sugar water and getting blood drawn precisely one hour later.

We were treated to a couple of quick peeks of the baby's head (which is already positioned near the exit) and the sound of a very strong heartbeat after our short road race and Gina's sugar rush. The doctor was happy with both Mom and Dad's body weight at this stage of the pregnancy!

Next visit is scheduled two weeks from today. We will meet a different doctor for that visit. This is to prevent us from thinking we are in the wrong hospital on the big day if our doctor is unavailable for the delivery. We hope this doctor is as nice as ours.... and of course, that she has done this kind of thing at least one or two times! ;-)
