36 Week Check-Up

I'm at 36 weeks and 3 days today and we saw the doctor again this evening.  Before going to the appointment we had the taxi guy drop us at Extra shopping center so that we could check out a camera.  It was close to 6:00 p.m. and the lines were long so we decided to just walk down to the appointment.  Though there were people in the waiting room, they took us in right away.  I had stepped on this scale they had in the pharmacy at extra, just in case the scale here was still not working.  We actually all stepped on it, the girls first.  Zoë was 15 kg, which is 33 pounds and Abby was 15.1 kg  Everything was looking good though, scale was fairly accurate, heartbeat sounded good, blood pressure was good, and we got some more questions answered.  The next appointment is set up for the 29th at which point I'll be 38 weeks and three days.  After this appointment, I guess the next day, we will go to have the cerclage taken out.  We finally got the doctor's prices, R$2478.00 = US$1394.00 for Cesarean, and R$2460.48 = US$1384.00 for a normal birth.  These prices include the Obstetrician, the Primary Assistant, the Neonatal/Pediatrician and the Anesthesiologist.  We also asked, and it includes the all the check ups prior to delivery as well as a few follow up check ups.  It also includes the baby's check up with the pediatrician after the delivery.  We have a few questions and asked to schedule a meeting with the pediatrician.


Abby @ 4 years, 9 months
Zoë @ 4 years, 9 months
Enzo expected in 9 days
