Boy oh boy, my life just keeps getting better and better.

Maybe that statement is a little overdramatical, but whatever.

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and that went well. The doctor told me that Muffin would probably weigh in at about 8 pounds when he is born. Yup, 8 lbs, when the doctor said that I looked at Mommie and reminded her that I have been calling Muffin a big fat pineapple head lately. Turns out I was right.

Then he tells me that because of my high blood pressure, I need to start going to the hospital twice a week to have a fetal non-stress test. This is on top of going into the doctor’s office once a week too. So, lucky me, I get to have three appointments every week for the next six weeks. I sat on the examining table and asked myself how I got so lucky.

After Muffin is born and I’m all checked out and everything is okay, I have a strange feeling that it may be a long while before I voluntarily go to a doctor. I think I’ve been poked and pinched enough for the time being.

The doctor sent me right up to the hospital today to get started on the FNST. All I have to do is lay in a bed for about half an hour, drink some sprite, and let them monitor Muffin and take my blood pressure. Oh, and I get to push a little button every time Muffin moves. I don’t really mind the test. It’s a pain in the ass for MD and I to both work full time, on different schedules, and have to go to three appointments every week, but we’ll do the best we can.

On a side note, my big fat Muffin did not really like the test too much. He kept kicking at one of the sensors on my tummy. He only really kicked at the one, but he did it the whole time. I don’t think he liked that one. :)

The test today came out fine, and I’m hoping the rest of them come out that way too. I will feel much better when he’s born and I can see him and touch him and know that he is okay.

The day after tomorrow is my baby shower and I’m really excited. It has helped me so much this past week to have something like this to look forward too. Actually, Bee (who used to work at the hotel with me, but then abandoned me) called today to let me know that she would be coming!!!! I haven’t seen her since her last day here at the hotel, and I’m excited to do some catching up.

I feel so tired right now, soul tired. I’m hoping that in the coming weeks I can rest and be easy. I know I’ll need my energy to push Muffin Fat Head out when he’s ready. :)
