24 Weeks!

Went in for "quick" visit to the doctor's office today. They recently moved from one office to another (in the same building), so there was a bit of a learning curve at the new building. First of all, it seems they had double-booked the 4:00 appointments because the waiting room was FULL (I've never seen more than 3 or 4 other women there at that time when I'm there). Second, their main patient's bathroom (where you drop off urine samples) was clogged, so they had to send everyone to the opposite side of the office to do their business, and then carry their sample back to the lab. This resulted in a bathroom traffic jam. Fun. After that, we still had to wait 30 minutes past our actual appointment before we were seen, and it was really only a 10 minute appointment.

But other than those complaints, Bennett seems to be doing really well. They found his heartbeat right away (within a few seconds) and told us it was in the 150s, my weight is good (although I've finally gained a few lbs), etc. We didn't have anything else to report, so the midwife was pleased that everything seems to be going well.

Next week: Gestational diabetes test!
