OBGYN Appointment: 12.15.10

Today, we had another OBGYN Appointment.  It went great!  We were able to see our primary OBGYN, Dr. Swenson.  She was out last month for surgery so it was nice to be able to see her again and discuss what to expect in these final weeks.  

We now will be going every 2-weeks for the next month than it will be every week until Brixen is born.  Our next appointment is Wednesday, December 29, 2010 with one of Dr. Swenson's partners since she will be out-of-the-office.  It is always good to see more than one OBGYN because you never know who will be at the hospital when Brixen is born.  We will be able to see Dr. Swenson again on Wednesday, January 12, 2011.  WOW!  2011 already!!!

Below are some details of today's appointment.  Also...  Chris was able to record on his new G2 phone Brixen's Heart Beat!  VERY COOL!  He loves showing off his little heart beat and we LOVE hearing it!  Can't wait to meet you Baby Brixen, only about 9 or so more weeks!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Weight Gain to Date:  19-Pounds
Brixen's Heart Beat:  150
Blood Pressure:  Normal (Can't Remember #'s)
Measurement:  30-Inches from Bottom to Top (I think that is what Dr. Swenson said...  I just remember her saying that Brixen is measuring right on schedule and that was all that mattered to us!)


You might wonder why Dr. Swenson is talking about my sugar levels.  No need to worry!  I have to monitor the levels 4-times per day and thus far, everything has been normal.  Both doctors, her and Dr. Benjamin, are keeping a good eye on me and Baby Brixen.  

We do know that Dr. Swenson doesn't want me going too far past our due date of February 18, 2011.  So...  If it comes down to it, she or another doctor may have to induce me.  But as the weeks keep getting closer and closer, we will know more.  Please pray for us as we really want to have Brixen come naturally without being induced.  But I know it isn't what I want...  God has a plan and it will be the best one for Baby Brixen and myself.  :)
