"...it doesn't seem like she's been moving around..."

Friday, April 5, 1991

     At K-Mart we got lots of stuff for the baby - bibs, diaper wipes, rubber pants, t-shirts, sleepers, and a coming-home outfit.  (Guy had gotten some disposable diapers at the commissary.)  We also got some birth announcements.  I'd wanted to go to Hallmark for those & a baby book but it was getting too late & there were some cute ones there with shiny pink footprints on the front.  I still want to go to Hallmark for the baby book.  I hope we'll have time to do that.  

     I went to the Expectant Arms meeting this morning.  I had to circle around the parking lot about 5 times before finding a place close enough to walk.  Cathy Rudolph wasn't there.  She'd told me they were going to visit her in-laws in Baltimore & do some sight-seeing in DC; this week was spring break for Virginia Beach schools.

     But we had a good meeting. Margaret talked more than I did.  We kind of went into the treatment we got from the drs. with our previous pregnancies.  She'd been to Maternal-Fetal Medicine too.  Ann said that Dr. Levy is the only one there now.  Because they're part of the medical school.  I asked if they'd been fired & she said no, she didn't know why the others left and she heard that Dr. Levy might not be there much longer.  Sounds strange to me.

     I was having a lot of Braxton-Hicks contractions this afternoon so I started timing them.  It was kind of scary when the first two I timed were only about 5 minutes apart.  But they got further & further apart til it was like 50 minutes.  That was just before I took a nap.  I had a few right after I got up but it doesn't seem like she's been moving around since supper like she usually does.
