Prenatal Check-up

Patrick and I went to our Prenatal Appointment with Dr. Wendt at San Francisco Kaiser Permanente today at 10:30am.

22 weeks and 4 days
Blood Pressure is: 117/78
Weight is: 137 pounds
Belly Measurement: 24 centimeters
Baby's Heartbeat: Strong and healthy

Next appointment is on Tuesday, August 24th at 2:45pm; before next appointment I have to get labs drawn for anemia and Glucose testing.

18 weeks SONOGRAM

*Baby Myers is waving... look at those tiny fingers!*
It was a loooooooooong appointment. Apparently, SF Kaiser just got new sonogram machines and the sonographers are still getting use to operating it. Baby was mostly on his/her tummy so we looked at the spine a lot. Sonographer was going to let us know the baby's gender but we told her that we wanted to be surprised!

Ultrasound went well. It was so neat seeing Baby Myers being so lazy/active :-)!

Prenatal Check-up

Prenatal Appointment with Dr. Jacqueline Wendt at 4:20pm at San Francisco Kaiser.

Yes, a new doctor... again! Hopefully Dr. Wendt will be our doctor for the rest of the pregnancy; she's very down to earth and helpful in answering questions Patrick and I have.

After listening to our baby's heart beat, she did a quick sonogram and we saw the baby punching and kicking and doing tumbles... so cute...!

I am sick :-(

Probably just a cold, but I felt feverish and my throat was sore all night last night after my late nap. I called the Advice Nurse and they told me that I should come in for a SWAB TEST just in case it's STREP Throat; which I did today. Ugh! Turns out, it's just a cold... Yay!

Meanwhile, I'm drinking LOTS of hot water with honey and lemon... AND to make sure my temperature doesn't go any higher than what it is now (101.3), I'm taking Tylenol.

I'm feeling much much better; just need to rest.

NEW/old Doctor @ Kaiser in SF

I transferred from South San Francisco Kaiser to San Francisco Kaiser because it's easier to get to via public transportation when Patrick is not able to take me to my appointments AND South San Francisco does NOT deliver babies...!

Today, I met my new doctor, Dr. Gogia... well, she won't be my doctor for long; she's apparently moving to La La Land! We talked, she checked my wight and blood pressure; also the baby's heart beat using the doppler thingy... everything looks good. At the end, she helped me find a NEW doctor.

Afterwards, I went to the Laboratory to do a Glucose Blood Test since diabetes runs in the family. Result is good!

Happy Birthday To ME!

One of the best birthday ever is to see my baby kick, punch, roll over and tumble inside the womb!
