24 Week Doc Appt

I know I am behind but we went to the Doctor last Wednesday, Sept 16th.
We had a pretty normal visit. She checked my weight, blood pressure, and we heard Emery's heartbeat. She hates it when she puts that doppler up to my belly because she can only get the heartbeat for a second until she moves and runs away from it! The nurse always laughs when she does that.
Dr. Bradford came in to see us and she measured my tummy and than asked if I have been feeling her kick and than she asked Casey if he has been able to feel her. We than discussed Flu shots for the both of us. Than we started talking about where I wanted to deliver Emery, which I didnt think we would be talking about so soon. I realized though that if I went into early labor she would want to know these things. Well I really like my Dr. but something about this visit she just rubbed me the wrong way. She asked me where I wanted to be delivered and I told her and than she wanted to know why I picked that hospital. I told her my reasons and than she quickly wanted to tell me what her opinion about it was. Which is fine because I am open to hearing things that I dont know from a doctors perspective but why give me an option if you really want me to deliver at another hospital. Anyways, I left more frustrated than when I came. I still have to pick a hospital by Oct 12th, which is our next appt. I will be doing my glucose testing that same day as well. I am really hoping I will pass this test! I am not looking forward to drinking that nasty drink either.
Over all Emery is doing great and she is moving more and more each day, even though it isnt on a schedule yet, and that may not come since I was a lazy baby too!
I have mixed reactions from people when they see me with my belly. I hear a lot that I am not very big, even thought the scale beggs to differ with you people, and than I hear from other people that I have gotten really big. Those comments dont make me feel so good but I try to take it with a grain of salt. Payback will be when they get pregnant:) Haha!
