Appt.

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
(Gal 5:17 ESV)

I love it when a verse just pops out at you. This one is really awesome. One to think about, a lot.

My doctor's appt. today went well. I have gained 4 pounds in the last 8 weeks and really who knows if 4 pounds is water or shoes or whatever. So I am doing good. I was hoping not to gain any until the last trimester. Wow, that is coming fast!

Baby's heartbeat was 148. My blood pressure was PERFECT at 120/60. I have had spotting which has been unexplained because everything is going really well. My doctor said he thinks it is likely placenta previa. That is when the placenta attaches over the cervix. The chances of this happening go up with every pregnancy because the previous pregnancies leave a scarred spot on the uterus where a future placenta will not attach. So, this is my 8th pregnancy. In 90% of placenta previa cases the placenta is moved when the uterus grows and stretches. In the other 10% the pregnancy ends with c-section. Either way, things should be fine. I have never had a cesearean so if it is placenta previa I really hope it moves!!! We will find out more when we have an ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. We will get to see the gender then too! Yaaaaaaaay!

My doctor brought a NP with him that he is training -- he always does this with me -- and tells them how I know everything about PCOS and if they ever want to know anything I am the go-to girl. He flatters me sooooo much! Today when I left the NP asked if she could call me to help her out with some of her school stuff regarding PCOS. I was like YES of course you can! This is my mission! (well, one of them anyway... LOL... I suppose it may be trumped by my mission to be a great mom and wife...)

Someone told me once not too long ago that I am just "against doctors" and don't like them. I was like... "do you even know me?" Because I ADORE my doctor and I really like many doctors!! The *only* doctors I don't like are the ones that probably anyone doesn't like because they're rude and they don't help you. Doy! I have more doctors than I can count actually... and I really like them all!

Well... I hope you all had a happy hump day (Wednesday... we're over the hump)!
