6 month OB appt.

Yesterday Jesse and I went to our monthly appt. We waited for an hour and 15 mins before seeing the doc. (not happy) I still have not gained any weight which the doc says is fine. I just can't believe I am 6 months pg and no weight gain, not bragging just amazed as I am hungry all the time. We listened to the heartbeat, which was good and strong although the doc nearly killed me with the Doppler wand trying to keep him from moving. Blood pressure was normal and everything looks good. It was annoying to wait and hour for a five minute appt, but oh well.

We also found out that they do 3D ultrasounds in the office for fairly cheap. We signed up to have one done on Feb. 4th. We are only doing it because there was not 100% confirmation that it really is a boy so we want another look. Plus we get to see what baby will look like. I will definitely post pics when we get them.

Oh and one random vent...when you go to the monthly OB appt. they make you pee in a cup every time. Well they give you these ridiculously small cup things to pee in, so you're trying to reach under your ever growing belly to try and catch some of your pee which never stays going in one direction so you end up peeing all over your hand and only getting a very small amount in the actual cup. It is completely stupid. I think next time I am going to bring in my Big Gulp cup, pee in that and then poor the pee into the mini cup.
