30-wk doctor's appointment

I had my regular doctor's appointment this morning. It was pretty uneventful except for the $100 parking ticket we got for parking on the street 5 minutes before 9:30 am! :-(. Daddy Jarbs came with me to my appointment and we got to Baby Jarbs' heartbeat again. I gained 4.5 lbs since the 26-week appointment. My blood pressure is still looking good (118/70). After this week's appointment, I get to see my doctor every two weeks until the 36th week where I would then have to go in weekly. Today, we discussed a little bit about labor and delivery. My doctor will let me go until 41 weeks. If Baby Jarbs does not arrive before then, I will be scheduled for induction (crossing fingers that we won't have to resort to this). At the latest, Baby Jarbs will be here first week of November!  If I'll end up being induced, perhaps, we can schedule the induction the same day as Daddy Jarbs' birthday which is on Oct 29th! Hmm..something to think about.

My next doctor's appointment is in two weeks, which will be the day before we leave for Aruba! My doctor will check my cervix then to make sure I am not dilated yet. If so, we may have to forego the Aruba trip :-(. I hope Baby Jarbs cooperates and let Daddy & Mommy Jarbs enjoy this last mini-vacay before she comes!
