Vegetable personalities

I went to the doctor today. It was a different one than usual -- they are rotating me among the partners in the practice so I can get to know all of them; any one of them could deliver E (you get whoever's on call when you go into labor).

I like my regular doctor a little better -- she's warmer, and gives more opportunity for questions -- but I'll see her next time anyway. And this one was fine.

A number of good things happened:

• I didn't gain any more weight. At least that's what the nurse said. I think I gained a pound. In other words, she says I weighed X both this time and last time; I think I weighed X - 1 last time. But whatever, I can't complain.
• My blood pressure is normal, as it was last time.
• E is head down -- the proper birth position! They're supposed to be head down by 34 weeks; I'm only 29 weeks and 2 days. I wonder if this means he will be early.
• The doctor said I "measured perfectly." Starting a few weeks ago, they've been measuring my bump each time.
• My sugar test was normal -- no gestational diabetes. It only affects 2-3% of pregnant women, but they test all of us anyway. I had the test done last time and they gave me this orange drink. I have to admit, it tasted pretty good. Some of the nurses even drink it when they're thirsty (probably not the best thing to do, since it's loaded with glucose). But they enjoy it.
