I had my 4 week check-up with the doctor this afternoon. John didn't come because he was busy working. Unfortunately my dr. was held up at a delivery and my appointment ended up being almost an hour late! That was ok though, because the nurse took my blood presure, which was FINALLY good. I also had only gained 1 lb a week the last 4 weeks and I got to listed to Olivia's heartbeat! It was a strong 154 beats/minute. Its always been around that. The doctor came in and said everything looked perfect. I had also been recording my blood presures at home and she said they looked great. She wrote down an average for all of them. She said everything at the ultrasound looked perfect and no further ultrasounds were recommended, but she always schedules one at 32 weeks to see how big the baby is getting. So I will be able to look forward to getting that in a few months! Also they finally got the lab results for CMV and I wasn't immune to it, but I hadn't contracted it in the NICU either. That is a virus that is very bad for women to get when they are pregnant and can cause abnormalities with the babies. I thought that one of our babies at work had it that I was in a room with, so I got tested for it just in case. So I just have to make sure to be careful when being in contact with the babies, especially if they have anything funky going on.
Anyway I will have another check-up in 4 weeks with a nurse practitioner because my doctor will be on vacation. I haven't scheduled it yet because I didn't have my June schedule with me and by the time I got home the office was closed! I think it will be the week of June 19th though.
