Despite the gloomy weather I went to my second doctor’s appointment today.?? The nurse weighed me and said I had gained??4 pounds since my last visit which was on May 5, 2006.?? At that point I was 99 ppounds and 7 weeks pregnant.?? I already knew I had gained weight because I discovered over the past week that I cannot fit many of my clothes or at least the bottoms.?? I can put them on but buttoning the top button is not happening anymore.?? I still think I am to small for maternity clothes so I will have to get some clothes that are just a size or two up.?? I love having an excuse to go shopping!
She then asked me alot of questions about mine and Daniel’s medical history.?? The one downside to my adoption is I am unable to ever locate my biological parents and I do not know any of my medical history.?? God has blessed me the past 26 years ( my b-day was yesterday) with no signs of any disease or medical condition.?? I only hope Baby Roop is just as blessed.?? Even though this is unfortunate,??I am still very, very fortunate to have my parents and all they have given me.?? I hope to pass that on to Baby Roop as well.?? Daniel’s familiy has one heridity condition but it doesn’t seem serious.??
Dr. Bischoff came in later and did the normal physical exam that you get when you go to the OB/GYN.?? I will spare you the details since the majority of you know what that is like.?? Trust me it isn’t any more pleasant when your pregnant.?? He did let me hear the Baby Roop’s heartbeat.?? At first all we could was me –I must say sounds kind of funny when you are listening to the inside of you body.?? It didn’t take long to get the heartbeat.?? As soon as I heard it I just smiled from ear to ear.?? Just last week I saw Baby Roop now I could hear him/her as well.?? It’s heart was beating really fast, which I was told was normal.?? I have a human inside me!
The last thing Dr. Bischoff said about my examination is that there might be a possibility that I will have to have a C-section due to my pelvis.?? Basically, if a woman’s pelvis is to narrow to birth a child then the doctor let’s her know in advance she will need to have a C-section for health reasons.?? Mine was not really narrow but I still have a slighter higher chance than others that I might need to have a C-section when it comes time for delivery.?? I do not mind either way.?? I just want the baby to be delivered the safest way possible.?? I know whatever happens God will be taking care of both of us.?? If he can put the miracle of life in me, I know he will be careful about it taking out of me.
