Everything's normal!

I went to the doctor today (my regular obstetrician--Dr. Phillips) and listened to the baby's heartbeat.  Since Brandon's on Christmas break right now, he got to come with me and hear the baby's heartbeat too.  His heart was beating at 138 bmp and sounded just like it should sound!  The high-risk doctor (Dr. Chatelain) who is doing my ultrasounds recommended to Dr. Phillips that I do a 24-hour urine collection at every visit (approximately every four weeks) and do a blood platelet count at every visit to make sure that my kidneys are functioning well and that my platelet count doesn't drop below normal.  My last 24-hour urine collection was just as normal as that of someone who doesn't have any kidney disease, so I don't have to do a collection for this visit!  I'm so glad that I don't have to do one this time since it's close to Christmas.  Speaking of Christmas, I get more and more anxious and excited about Seth's birth the more I think about the birth of Jesus.  I can't wait until my own little baby boy is born!  Dr. Phillips said that I should start to feel him move in about three weeks!  I'm going back to see Dr. Phillips in four weeks, and I'm going to see Dr. Chatelain again in five weeks for a follow-up ultrasound!  I can't wait to see Seth again :)
