Dr. Appt Update...

We had our monthly appointment with Dr. E today. She was running behind, which upset a few patients but hey, what can you do, she has babies to deliver. And babies have their own schedule.
Even though the appointment started a lot later than it was scheduled for, it went very well. She said that the ultrasounds got good, solid pictures of the organs & everything else and that everything looks good. She said he's right on track with his growth and there was nothing bad happening with his development.

She listened for his heartbeat and was able to find it right away. I wasn't that lucky last night, but I suspect her device is a lot more high tech than mine. She said his heartrate was solid, ranging from 150-158 and she seemed very happy with the progress.
The next appointment is at Week 25 and then during Week 28 we'll have another blood test and also do the glucose test. Then after that, I'll start to go every 2 weeks, rather than every 4. And I think once we start every 2 weeks, time will really start to fly by.

She recommended taking more tums to add calcium which may help with the leg cramps. She also suggested another pillow under my belly and maybe tylenol before bed to help with the backaches while sleeping. I'll try almost anything, as long as the doctor said it's okay!

All the moving he's started to do is just his way to let me know he's there. But overall, Alexander is doing very well which makes Mom & Dad quite happy.
