Nicky and I went to see Dr. Gabel again this morning. Nothing thrilling; we just had the usual check-up. Everything still looks good; I’m huge. He said that I shouldn’t be surprised to start feeling lots of pressure now, which is EXACTLY what I’m feeling, because of the stress on all of my already stretched ligaments from the last 9-and-1/2-pounder. I asked Dr. Gabel if he had an estimate about the size of the baby, and he said that if I make it to my due date (!!!) that it’ll be about 9 pounds, which I’d imagined. We’ll see…
My next visit will be one week from today with Dr. Dwyer, whom I’ve never met, which is fine. If I wanted to see either Dr. Kerpelman or Dr. Gabel, I’d have to come in on Monday, which is just silly. I’ll be 36 weeks along tomorrow, so I feel like it’s too early to go back in after 3 days. I’ve heard she’s nice, as is everyone in the office, so I’m not worried.
25 days to go!
