April 25 Doc appointment

Had another non stress test today. This time I was the one that needed waking up. The move really tired me out and it was sooo friggin’ hot in the hospital. My newly bronzed doc had a student in with him today, which was cool. The baby gained nearly a pound and a half in 11 days so you can imagine our doc’s surprise. Probably had something to do with the Cadbury Mini Eggs and Bounty bars! So he asked me if he could do an x-ray to make sure the baby’s head was going to fit thru my pelvis. I said “sure as long as I get to x-ray your testicles too”. Just kidding. I didn’t say that, but I really wanted to. The whole “foreigner has big baby” is wearing a little thin with me. If I end up needing a C-Section because the baby is too big then having an x-ray isn’t going to make any difference at this point. The Kid’s only 8.5 lbs and due any second now. I told him that I respected his concern but that I didn’t think an x-ray was necessary at this time. Other than that I had a good appointment although I did avoid going to the gas station afterwards!
