Genia had another doctor's appointment yesterday. Bailey's heart rate was good, and Genia's size is right on target. The doctor actually gets out a tape measure and measures the circumference of her stomach from top to bottom. It always looks so funny, but apparently that is a genuine method of making sure the uterus is growing enough.

The doctor recommened that Genia start working no more than 5 hours in one shift. This was welcome news to my lovely wife, who said "I could kiss this" while holding the doctor's note. Since she's salaried, her boss told her that she'd be better off financially just going out on maternity leave early, so she will do that after two more weeks. She couldn't be more thrilled! I am also happy about this news. She's been exhausted by work lately, so getting more rest can only be good for her and for Bailey. It will also just be nice to have her around the house more.
