I had my 30-week appointment yesterday and got to meet another doctor in the practice (they rotate you around a little so you will be familiar with everyone else in case your own OB isn't available for the birth). Her name is Dr. Kim Scott, which made me giggle. (She politely smiled when I told her I had an aunt with the same name.) So far, I have really liked the other doctors in the practice (they're all fairly young women!), so I'm not stressed out at all about whether Dr. Bell will be the actual one to catch Charlotte on her way out.
Anyway, Dr. Scott confirmed that everything looks "A-OK" with my pregnancy so far. My blood pressure is terrific, the baby's heartbeat is right on target, and there are absolutely no warning signs to indicate I made a mistake in choosing the hospital closest to home (Williamson Medical) rather than hoofing it over 20 miles to Vanderbilt with its high-level NICU. [Corey keeps telling me that the hospital is so close (barely over a mile from home) that I should just walk there when I'm in labor instead of wasting the gas. Yeah, right.] So, the only disappointment I had with the visit was when I accidentally grabbed a banana Dum-Dum sucker out of the basket instead of the peach one I had been going for. Talk about a nasty surprise when I popped it in my mouth on the interstate on my way back to work!
All in all, I'm still feeling great and feeling Charlotte kicking all over the place a bunch of times each day. My sister recently started feeling her own baby moving around, which was really exciting to hear. BabyZone.com says I only have 65 more days to go until the due date! Time seems to have been speeding up as of late...
