Check-up is All Good

We had our doctor check-up last night, they are such brief visits.  The doctor measured my belly, it's normal, we heard Cooper's heartbeat, it's strong and loud.  We're going to schedule another ultrasound at our next visit in a month to check on Cooper's kidneys. 

I took the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes.  You have to drink this orange drink type thing within five minutes (I did it in 2 because I was being competitive!!) and then wait an hour and have your blood drawn.  My glucose is fine, within normal range.  They also looked at my bloodcount, which is slightly low, my doctor said normal for pregnancy.  So I'm healthy and Cooper's healthy.

We talked with the doctor about circumcision and are still deciding about whether or not to have the procedure. 

That's it, our next appointment is in May, I'll be 31 weeks.  I'm almost to the third trimester, I have one more week in the euphoric second trimester.
