Follow up appointment

I had another appointment with Dr. Cook on last Thursday. My mom flew in Wednesday night to go to the doctor with me. As expected, the baby is still breech, but seems to be doing well. Her heart rate was 154 BPM. My weight & blood pressure are fine. We are still scheduled to do the c-section on the 16th. Dr. Cook told us he wants to get me out of the hospital ASAP, but making sure that I'm ready to go home. He said that I will probably go home Wednesday morning, but it will just depend on how I am doing. Since my mom was with me, Dr. Cook asked if she would like to see the baby on the ultrasound. They escorted us to another exam room where Laura, a new mid-wife on staff, performed the ultrasound. Although the screen was small, we could see little Therese moving & sucking her thumb. Plus, we were able to see that she is definitely a little girl! Laura also told us a little bit more about what to expect when little Therese is born. I think we are going to have less time with her than we hoped for, not that there could ever be enough.
