Great check-up...all things considered

Last night was rough. Melissa woke up with major stomach cramps at 11pm. Not knowing what was happening (i.e. the cramps elevated too quickly to be labor), Clint ensured that Melissa did not have a fever and tried to encourage some water consumption. For the next four hours, Melissa spent a lot of time in the bathroom, and finally around 3am it seemed to subside. With no fever, we assume Melissa had food poisoning. But it could have been a small flu bug, since there is some of that going around.

We had our standing doctor's appointment at 845am, so we we went there for a check-up. As usual, and regardless of the previous night's events, Melissa's vitals were great, as were the baby's. The baby's HR was 150. Still pretty high...but nothing to be alarmed by. The baby is definitely sitting comfortably with his head down. At times, we have commented that Melissa's belly looks lopsided and unsymmetrical, and after mentioning that to Jacquie, she confirmed that the baby is mostly on Melissa's right side. But that's ok....just as long as he is comfortable! :)

Melissa caught up on her sleep today and hopes to return to work tomorrow.
