14w4d doctor appointment

Mike was off today so he got to go with me to my appointment today. So far everything is good. I'm down another 1/2lb so I got quizzed over my diet. Dr Files also told me that I had +1 ketones in my urine so I need to really drink up some water. Nothing to be worried about yet, just cautioning me. My blood pressure was normal and the baby's heartbeat was in the 160's. We discussed my anterior placenta and whether it would move or cause any problems with the c-section. Luckily, it should be fine since it's not low, just in the front. She said they normally move up some as the uterus grows. She seems open to working with us on scheduling the c-section to where we don't use up all of Mike's vacation time in the hospital too. If we do it on Thursday or Friday then we would be home Sunday or Monday, so that would be good. We'll schedule that at around 28 weeks so she said just to remind her about that then. She didn't give me a hard time about not getting the flu shot, so I was happy about that. I had blood drawn for the cystic fibrosis test while I was there. I hate getting blood drawn! I go back in 4 weeks to see her for a regular appointment and to see Dr Rowe (peri) for the next u/s. The appointments are at 10:30 and 1:55 so I'll have to take Mike and Kaelin home and have lunch in between. I'm excited to take Kaelin to the appt. so she can see her baby brother too! That should be pretty cool for her!
