30 week appointment

I had a great appointment today.  My midwife was so laid back and we chatted about work, the hospital, and a bit about pregnancy too.  :)  She said she is going to get really busy in March and April, so I'm not going to expect this anymore from her.  The next 3 appointments will be with doctors so I can meet them, just in case.

The glucose test from 2 weeks ago was 120, which is good to have it below 140.
My hemoglobin was 12.1, which she said she didn't want to see any lower.  I don't want to see it lower either since I'm already finding it hard to breath.  I ate chili for lunch so that should help with my iron (dark kidney beans and red meat).  We'll see how bad my heartburn gets, even though it has not been too bad while being pregnant.  She did tell me that mint is bad (it relaxes the sphincter between the stomach and esophagus), but spearmint is good for heartburn.

wt: 138.8 lbs (with shoes on)
BP: 124/68 (though I think it's higher than that since the tech didn't pump it up high enough)
Fundal ht: 30
baby's HR: 140 (Dan got 144)

Now I'm off to sleep to work the next two nights.
