I had my appt. with Maternal Fetal Medicine today.

I got REALLY frustrated as they asked for my blood sugar levels. I told them (once again) that I don't take them, that my A1C came back normal, yada yada. So the nurse went ahead and pricked my finger to check it. And then she measured my belly and tried to tell me I was measuring 34 1/2 weeks!!! Ummm...NOT! I told her that my ob, herself, had measured me at 29 1/2 weeks just two days ago. So she measured me again...and um she started down by (sorry tmi) my vagina lips. Ummm...so my uterus goes all the way down there...I don't think so. And then she tells me she measured the same thing, 34 1/2 weeks. I mentioned that to the MFM doctor and he said that I should go by my ob..umm ...ahyeah! lol

Anyhooo....Caitie was so cute. Putting on a little pudge. She now weighs 3 lbs. She kept opening and closing her eyes and moving her mouth like she was chewing something. hehe She's so cute! She's measuring in the 61% around 29 1/2 weeks. Looks great...no problems seen.

She is transverse, which could be why I've been so uncomfy.
Basically it was a good appt. I do find it a bit irritating how every doctor seems to question each other and I have to "explain" everything again. lol But what can you do. I'm healthy, baby's healthy. That's what matters.

That girl does not know how to measure! Didn't they go over that with her? Sheesh! I'm glad Caitie is doing so well.
