2nd OB Appt

So I have had my second ob appointment. I took my husband along with me this time, since it was basically a baby listening appointment.

When we got there, the waiting room was full. Our doctor had been called to the hospital twice in the course of the morning, so all of the appointments were backed up. We listened to some very interesting waiting room conversation before our appointment.

We were finally called back and I had to go through the usual routine - pee in a cup, get weighed, and answer many questions that at normal times I would not tell a complete stranger.

Then it was back to what Jeremy referred to as the other waiting room. Thankfully, we were only there for about 5 more minutes. The doctor came in and ask me some more questions I did not want to answer.

It was then time for the whole point of the visit. To hear the baby's heartbeat and be told by the doctor that all was well. So I laid back on the table and exposed the belly. She put the nice cold gel on my belly and began to listen. She picked up the heartbeat right away, but baby Movius only allowed listening for about 15 seconds. Then he was done and he gave the wand a kick. The doctor did say that all was well. All of my blood tests and everything came back good.

I have another appointment in a month. I am not sure if I will get Jeremy to accompany to this one though.

Plugged In Online

For those of you looking for a good preview of movies, games, and music, I have got the sight for you. It is called Plugged In Online. I use it mostly for movies, but I have also read a review or two about new music albums coming out. This website is a part of Dr. Dobson's ministry Focus on the Family.

One thing I like about this site, especially the movie reviews, is that it allows you to make the decision. It gives you the facts regarding the movie, but it does not tell you what to think. At the end, it tells you what the reviewer thinks, but they leave it open to you to make the decision.

Just so you know, they get graphic. In the sense that they say, this sex scene happens and the front and back of a woman are completely shown. I won't want any of you to be shocked. I appreciate the detail, because I can turn around and talk with my 16-year-old brother and tell him exactly why I do not think he should watch a movie. Not all of you may be in that position yet.

Anyway, I encourage you to check it out if you never have next time you find a movie you or your kids are interested in watching.
