I had a routine checkup appointment yesterday. Everything is still looking good. My blood pressure was 120/70, which I was told was good. I put on ANOTHER 4 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS!!! I really don't think I've been eating more, but maybe I have been. I saw Leslie (the nurse practitioner) again, and she wasn't worried about my weight still. The baby's heart rate was 137 bpm. I am 1 cm dilated right now. Leslie said that was good because a lot of women don't dilate at all until right before labor with their first pregnancy. I go back in about a week and a half.
Brian and I also met with a pediatric group yesterday morning. We liked the office set up, and the nurse who showed us around was really nice. The office is close to our house, and they have a second office downtown right by Children's Hospital. Both offices have Saturday morning hours, and the one downtown also has Sunday morning hours. Their nurse line also always answers your questions immediately instead of just calling you back. They said you could be on hold for a little bit, but that seems worth it to get an answer right away. The doctor we met with seemed good. I didn't instantly click with him, but there wasn't anything wrong with him either. There are several pediatricians in the group so I'm sure we'll mesh with some better than others. We saw the wife of one of Brian's coworkers in the waiting room, and she told us they've been using this group for 16 years. Also, they are the office that my OB recommends, and all her other doctor recommendations I've gotten over the last few years have worked out really well.
