T minus ... and counting

We had an appointment with the doctor yesterday. Blood pressure good. Urine sample good. Weight good (hmm...my knees are not so sure). We listened to the heartbeats. Scheduled a non-stress test for next Wednesday. For an NST I go to Labor & Delivery at the hospital and they monitor me for contractions and the babies heart rates over a period of time. They want to make sure the babies' heart rates fluctuate with movement. Should go up when the babies move around and return to a baseline after a short period of time after they stop moving.

And we talked with Dr. Clark about the delivery. We are scheduled for first thing in the morning July 10. We'd (or maybe I'd) prefer to deliver the week before...like say the 7th when the babies will be right at 38 weeks gestation, but Dr. Clark will be on vacation ( I think he said Wyoming ) until the 9th. So we plan on being his first order of business on his return. I sure hope he's staying at a Holiday Inn Express on his trip!
