Doctor's Visit - 31st Week

Yesterday, we had our, now, bi-weekly doctor's visit. It was the first time that we walk into the doctor's office with no one sitting in the waiting room! We got called-in almost immediately. We went through the usual urine test, weight, and blood pressure measurement. Everything was normal!

When we met up with Dr. Chen, we told him that Amy has been having abdominal pain in her lower right tummy. Then, Dr. Chen held Amy's hand and press really hard into the tummy, and that was Amy's first time feeling the baby's head! Dr. Chen explained that it was the baby's head that is pressing against some nerves, which is why Amy is feeling the pain.

We also told Dr. Chen that Amy had cramps on her left leg the night before, and Dr. Chen recommended us to pick up some over-the-counter calcium supplement.

Dr. Chen also used the Doppler to measure the Baby's heartbeat. This time it was 143 beats per minute!

Also, due to the excitement of the ultra sound images from our last visit, we have totally forgotten to find out Amy's Glucose Tolerance test result. Yesterday, we finally had the chance to find out how did Amy do on the test. Dr. Chen said everything came back normal, and told Amy that she is now authorized to eat more sweets and ice-cream! Yeah!

Last but not least, Dr. Chen told Amy that she needs to take more rest, and went ahead to give her a bed-rest order for Amy to bring it back to work.

The Due-date is getting closer and closer. We now have less than 2 months to go! But before the Due Date, we also have a very important event coming up. This weekend is my brother's (soon-to-be Uncle Chris) wedding ceremony! It's going to be a big party with relatives from all over the world visiting. It's going to be a fun and busy weekend!
