Doctor's Visit

Abby Kate and I returned to the doctor Friday for our 32-week check-up. I'm happy to report that she is doing great! Her heart rate was 135; the doctor says she is measuring perfectly.
The visit took a lot longer than I expected because the doctor was running behind. Normally I'm an "easy like Sunday morning" kind of gal but waiting an extra hour at lunchtime was brutal! Abby Kate and I felt famished by the time my 11:20 appointment was over at 1:00. Hello, Chick-Fil-A! :)
I talked to the doctor about travel and she said I'm OK to travel up until 38 weeks if my pregnancy continues on its current track. She considers Birmingham or Nashville to be "safe" distances. Right now I don't have any plans to take trips but it's nice to know I'm clear for take-off, so to speak, if I want to visit my mom once again before the baby's born.
Sunday I'll enjoy a baby shower at my home church with "old" friends and family. Next weekend my friend Lee is hosting one in our honor and I'm excited to spend time with my TV family. With all this showering we feel blessed and loved, that's for sure!
