jack and i headed to the doctor today. i usually go alone, but decided to take him with me this time. he loves to go bye-byes and kept saying "mommy, get ready, go bye-byes" all day!! i kept reminding him that we were going to my dr. and that we would hear the baby's heartbeat. he was so well behaved, but once the nurse came to get us, he immediately got a bit nervous. he was so upset when i had my blood pressure taken, and then again when we went into the room, i think he thinks they might hurt me...he's already my little protector:) my dr. was nice enough to let me stand while she listened to the heartbeat because jack was not having it with me lying down. as soon as we found it, he had this look of both awe and confusion on his face. i know he doesn't really understand, but i love that i can include him in the process.
on another note, all looks good, but because jack was considered not to be of gestational age at birth--his weight was off by a couple ounces--i'll have growth scans at both 32 & 36 weeks. i'm confident all is ok, but will happily go along with the added precautions.
