Yesterday, I called in sick as I had a couple of doctor's appts and I also scheduled my prenatal massage in the afternoon. Saw Dr. B and she said all looks really good. She said we'll probably choose an induction date next week. (Crap!) After my appt I had my non-stress test. They attached 2 devices on my belly to measure Lily's heart rate. Apparently, she was falling asleep (I had just eaten lunch) so they had to zap my belly with this device that makes a loud noise internally and boy, did Lily hear it. The test takes about 1/2 an hour. The nurse was so confused as to why I had high blood pressure. Then I explained to her about my bypass surgery and that the doctors were taking every precaution necessary, just in case. At the end of my test, she had mentioned my "gastric bypass surgery" and I was like, HOLD ON! NOT GASTRIC! Oh dear. After the non-stress test, they do an ultrasound of the baby to measure how big she is. She is currently weighing in at 4 lbs, 12 oz. Atta girl! I have to get this same test done every week up until I give birth. That's a good thing though, because then every week, I get to see Lily via ultrasound. :)
There was a monsoon here yesterday afternoon and I was so happy to be able to escape to my massage at the Soho Sanctuary! The lady who handled me was called "Harvest." No joke. She was very good, despite the shady name. It was sooo relaxing. I'm not one to pamper myself at all, so this was quite a treat!
