03/02/2006 Checkup (26 weeks and 3 days)
Speck and mommy went in for a regular checkup today. It was quiet enlightening. Dr Jeanie confirmed that our glocuse test came back looking great. "So far everything looks great." Speck's heartbeat was measured in the 140s range. Dr. got results back from our "CBC" test and found out that mommy is just the slightest bit anemic. Apparently, anemia is very common during preganancy. Also mommy found out that almost every female in her maternal family was anemic during pregnancy. So no worries. Dr. wrote out a prescription for some iron pills and we are good to go.
Dr. asked if mommy was feeling the speck moving around, and to that obviously mommy had to reply no coz she really hasn't felt too much movement. So dr. ran a quick ultrasound and saw speckette move around a whole bunch. Dr. asked mommy to focus a little more on the movement, coz mommy is not very sensitive to baby. The mommy will promise to try harder.
Doc also asked mommy to find a pediatrician and get registered for some childbirth classes among other things. Will do so next week.
Next scheduled visit is 03/15/06
And that's all she wrote folks

I suggest you don't bother with the birthing classes. We (Wife and I) were told to not bother, as we'd never use it, and mostly from ones that took them the first time around. We had our baby boy just this month with no issues.
Anemia in expecting mothers is very common, wife and both of her sisters had this when pregnant. All took the iron pills and everything was fine.
