Dr. Appointment Update!!

Today I went for a routine check up at the Dr. I had several questions today. Usually I don't really have any. Today I wanted to find out if the baby was still breech. She said she thought that she was not, but once they start checking my cervix, they can tell better. This was good news to me!! I also wanted to see if I was still measuring ahead, and I was. The Dr. said she isn't too concerned but they have ordered an ultrasound in 2 weeks to measure the baby and see how big she is. I am pretty excited to get a little sneak peek at little (or big) Sara Beth. I am also excited to confirm once again that this baby does have girl parts!! I am nervous each and every time that I have been pregnant and bought all this "girl" stuff that they may have made a mistake. I don't want to undo everything that has already been prepared for little Sara Beth. So it will be nice to see if we can confirm one more time!! Although her room is pretty ready. No boy would want to be caught in there!!
Emma was really excited to get a good listen at the heart beat. Last time she didn't get to hear it very good, the baby was moving around to much. They even let her hold the little device they use and turn it off and on. She was tickled about it!! She said it sounded like a washing machine. Kayla is visiting us today, and I managed to get them to let all of us back to get a listen. I couldn't tell if Kayla was too impressed (she is 13 years old) but I thought it was kinda special that she got to hear the baby's heart beat!! It is old stuff to Leah, she has heard it several times now. She has been going with me all along while Emma has been in school. It doesn't get old to me. I love hearing it. Makes me get excited everytime.
I also need needed to pick up a copy of my records. We are going on a trip to Missouri to see UNCLE NICK & AUNT KATIE!! WAHOO!!! I can't believe it is actually going to finally work out. We have been trying to go since last spring break. Something keeps coming up. Anyway, we are on our way on July 28th and coming back on Aug. 4th. The Dr. cleared me to go, and said everything looked good. Just to be on the safe side to take my records in case something happens.
Well, I guess that is all for my update. Hope everyone is doing well, we are hanging in there trying to stay cool!! Sorry if I rambled on and on with this post!!
