I had my 34 week check up at the doctors this week. Everything looked good. I've gained 36 pounds so far (I was under weight to begin with, but I still feel like a huge porker), my blood pressure was "outstanding," and the baby seemed to have a great heart beat. I've been having problems with heartburn, so the doc gave me some medicine to calm that down.
But a few months ago, while I was in California, another doctor noticed a lump in my breast. It's never really bothered me, but poor Matt has been so worried about it. So finally my doctor here in Colorado ordered a breast imaging exam. Matt left work early to be with me at the hospital, but he wasn't allowed in the area where it was being done. It felt like I was sitting in the back room for more than an hour before they started the exam.
The lady was nice though. She asked about the pregnancy and kept me talking while she did the ultrasound. But then the radiologist walked in. He looked a little worried. He stared at the screen then finally turned to me. He said it was nothing to worry about. "A common occurrence in pregnant women" he said. He used words I don't quit understand, but something was blocked, and it wasn't liquid, but it was benign. He said to come back after I have the baby for another exam and a possible removal.
I went out to find Matt in the waiting room. He quickly jumped up to ask the news and I told him. His face lit up with such joy. Gosh, I love this guy. He hugged me and kissed me and said "Thank you God for my healthy Elbee!" The whole walk to the car, he held me tightly. I couldn't believe how relieved he was. I feel so lucky to have him. I wouldn't trade him for the world :)
