We just got back from our 32.4 week checkup. We met with the other doctor...Dr. Welsch...a lady Doctor. She is on call Tuesdays and two weekends a month. So, we are more likely to have Dr. Schad as our delivery doctor. But, she said if he is in surgery or something that they may call her in to break my water, check-in, etc. And she said they sometimes work together on c-sections, etc. We both liked her. I thought she was great...Nate thought she had an annoying laugh. And I guess if thats your only complaint...then that is great news! Ha ha!
  My blood pressure was good...my weight gain was good. Caprina's heartbeat was still right around 150bpm. Which she said is normal...she said the heartbeat may slow down as she gets bigger, which is ok too. She measured my belly and said that I should be at about 1 centimeter for every week. And I measured right at 32 centimeters...so I was right on. Caprina gave the Doctor a nice little kick while she was listening to her heartbeat, it was cute! Then the doctor showed us where Caprina was sitting. She grabbed her head which is right now in my lower belly... and then showed us that her bottom is right alongside my bellybutton with her legs curled up (or sometimes into my ribs. Ha.) She also took a guess that with my measurements that Caprina is probably between 4 and 4.5 pounds!!!!  I loved that she took the time to explain to us how Caprina was sitting...and was happy to hear all the good news. To celebrate we went to Walgreens and got Nate his flu shot! What a lucky daddy! We go back in again in two weeks.
  We will be going to the Badger game this weekend...so I'm hoping to get a "family picture" with Nate, myself and the Caprina bump. Should be a lot of fun, and will post pictures if we do manage to get a cute one!
