I Want a Swimming Pool So Bad I'm Growing One

Well, we had another prenatal check-up appointment today. This time with midwife Joan. Sweet lady. Everyone that works at the Austin Area Birth Center is awesome.

It was a confusing day for numbers. I went to my appointment thinking I was 23 weeks 3 days pregnant. During the abdominal palpation I was told I was measuring 27 weeks (Yowza!). Joan explained that it's not as accurate as the ultrasound I had a few weeks ago and asked if the ultrasound tech mentioned anything about the baby measuring big. She hadn't.

Okay so apparently I want a swimming pool so bad my body is growing one for my inner child, literally. But then there was some confusion when I went to schedule my glucose test next month. You have to be 28 weeks along to do the test and rescheduling in 4 weeks I would have been 27 weeks, or so I thought.

Receptionist: Okay so how far along are you?
Me: I'm 23 weeks 3 days today.
Receptionist: Okay, well that would make you only 27 weeks in 4 weeks. You sure she wanted you to come in in 4 weeks?
Me: Yup.
Receptionist: Hmmm.. Your birthday is [insert correct birthdate]?
Me: Yup, that's me.
Receptionist: Oh Okay.
Other Staff Member: Yea she's 24 weeks 2 days today.

That would make me 28 weeks at my next appointment and able to take the glucose test. Also brought our due date 6 days closer! So it looks like we are due October 2nd instead of the 8th. It's all estimated anyways. Weird day.

But sadly, we missed our Viability Day which would have been 2 days ago. So we're celebrating it today instead. Corbin got a swimming pool and I get to watch Last Comic Standing. Party on!
