Eighth doctor's appointment…

Today we went to see the doctor again for another check-up. Things are still going really well and Aiden is still growing and squirming all over. They checked his heartbeat and she said it is perfect. She looked at the results from the ultrasound and said that everything looks good and that they are just going to keep an eye on his size. I guess to make sure that he doesn’t get too big. She said that if he continues to measure big they will send me for another ultrasound to check it out. I guess they worry that I won’t be able to deliver him. We also talked to her about doing the whole cord blood registry thing. She said that if they had it back when she had her kids, she definitely would have done it. It’s a good idea and it can really help out if you need it. So John and I are going to have to talk more about it and see if it is something we can afford to do and everything. I talked to her about the pain in my hips and she told me a few things I should try to see if it helps any. If not then she said she will send me to a specialist (I forget what kind of specialist) to have it checked out. So we’ll wait and see what happens. We also talked a little about doing a birthing plan and stuff like that. I am really going to try to avoid the whole c-section thing unless obviously they say to me Traci, this is the only way to get him out and we need to do it. Then I will do it. I want to try to deliver him myself though. I told John I’m going to labor at home as long as I can before going to the hospital. I know people that were in labor for way too long and I don’t want to be tied up in a hospital bed and being all uncomfortable. I mean, we’ll see what happens in a couple of weeks but for now that’s my plan. I think that’s about it for now or at least all I can think of. We go back to the doctor’s in another two weeks for our next check-up. It was another good appointment and things are going really well :)
