Today was my 30 week appt. Tony had taken today off work and I was thrilled that he would be able to join me. After waiting quite a while, we were told that Dr Schwartz was "MIA" and they were not sure when he would return. To be completely honest, I was a little apprehensive about seeing a Nurse Practitioner since this was the first time that he had not ordered an ultrasound to check for cervical length. But when Jennifer, one of the NPs, came in our room, my anxiety was eased. We first met Jennifer when I was in the hospital for the long haul with Kenna. Jennifer worked night shift and we always knew we were in good hands with her. She was also present when Kenna was born (and of course took care of us the whole night before -Kenna was born at 7:23 am) She has since become a nurse practitioner and works with Dr Schwartz. She used the doppler to obtain the baby's heart rate which was in the 130s. The measured my belly which measured at 33 weeks (I'm not quite 31). We will take a big baby! I also received another dose (booster dose) of steroids to help the baby's lungs. Luckily it was only one dose instead of 2. That means I don't have to find someone to give me the second or give it to myself. Lets just say its not the most enjoyable thing to get!
I decided to get Kenna's hair cut short for the summer. She has SO much hair and it is very thick. I think she looks adorable (and so grown up!) with it shorter. For dinner we went to Sherri's place in CC, then to the park to play. One our way home we thought it would be fun to take Kenna to Paiges Crossing to play some games. There wasn't much for her age group but she did do pretty good at a little basketball game toss.
We had to talk her in to riding the horse because what she really wanted to do was hit the baseballs in the batting cages. I have a feeling that Daddy's love of baseball is rubbing off a bit..........
