The day started with my regular doctor's appointment for my 20 week check-up (I was officially 21 weeks, 3 days). Both kids came with me so Natalie was able to hear the heart beating via doppler. She didn't have the same awed reaction Jackson did when he first heard it, but that might be because she had been given a full report by her brother and knew what to expect. Or maybe she was just into playing with the toy she brought along.
My doctor took a look at my veins and asked me the basic questions of tingling sensations, pain, headaches, strength loss, etc. My answer to all was "no" so we left it to enlarged veins due to larger blood flow due to pregnancy. She did indicate that the vein glob (for lack of better terms) was blanching when she touched it, so there were some capillaries at work there.
And then my doctor informed me that she too was pregnant and due Dec 10! (And she just celebrated her first baby's 1st birthday!!!) We have decided that since she delivers late, and I deliver early, we should be just fine for her delivering this little one. PLUS she's on-call the week of Thanksgiving. So, maybe I'll shoot for that . . .
