When school first started I sat down with my principal. I wanted to ask her how and when to tell my students and their families about my pregnancy and therefore leaving school. We decided to try to wait until after Thanksgiving to say anything. Sr. Theresa basically wants me to wait to say anything for as long as possible.
That being said, today while we were waiting for my students to be dismissed one of my little girls looks up at me and says "Mrs. G. That belt on your shirt makes you tummy look bigger." Provided it was a shirt that had a belt attached right underneath the breast line, but still! I don't think I am making it to Thanksgiving without telling everyone!

Week Sixteen Appointment
Yesterday was my week sixteen appointment. Jim was able to go to this appointment with me. I actually went to the other office for this visit and I loved it! We got in, sat, and barely had time to start talking before they called me back! It was awesome!
It turns out that I had lost one pound. Dr. Develin said that was ok as long as the bay was the size it should be. She said I was probably losing weight because I am eating healthier. I still could be eating even healthier but I am doing better than normal! We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat. This was the first time Jim heard it and he acted like a tough guy of course but I think he was pretty excited! The baby was up by my belly button. That is where the baby should be so Dr. Develin said everything was A-ok! The baby's heart rate was a little slower but not a problem. This time it was about 155. She did tell me that I had to get the flu shots, for the normal flu and the swine flu. I normally get the shot anyway but I wasn't sure if I should get it this year since I am pregnant. I was glad she mentioned that. She also told me that I am good to go to see Julie, my sister, for some pre-natal massage sessions! Exellent! Finally, after I told her that I was having a hard time taking my pre-natal vitamins she told me I could go buy Flinstones vitamins and take them. I felt like such a huge dork buying the gummie vitamins and knowing they were for me! Oh well, no one else at the store knew.
My next appointment is on October 13 at 7:15. I am going back out to the Huntingdon Valley office but I am seeing a different doctor. Dr. Develin's hours are early which makes it hard for me now that I am back in school. I can't leave early once a month for a doctor's appointment so I will just have to see the other doctors when I have to, which is fine with me!
