11 weeks today!! Had my second appointment with the midwife. Today my appointment was with Bridgette. There are 3 midwives in the practice and I will get to meet them all. We went over all my health history information. I have a healthy family if I do say so myself. Of course the donor has a squeaky clean health history so that is pretty uneventful.
The plan, next appointment is in 2 weeks. I have to do an early glucose test (because I am overweight). So I have to drink the yummy orange sugar drink then go get my blood drawn. They will do other blood tests also. I declined any genetic testing or testing for down syndrome, neural tube defects, ect... They have a high rate of false positives and I wouldn't terminate the pregnancy anyway so it is pointless. I will get to have an ultrasound at 19 weeks. Around the beginning of February. I will have it done at the OB office that they consult with. The OB likes to meet all the patients at least once. That way if there is some sort of emergency I will have met the OB. Knock on wood. That;s when we will find out if we are having a boy or girl!!
The most exciting event of the day was hearing the heart beat!! About 160 beats/minute! What a sweet sound! I am sooooo relieved!! When I told my mom she said "Your having a girl." LOL, I think I am having a girl. My friends think I am having a girl. No one has said they think I am having a boy. Tracy wants a boy soooo bad! I really don't care. Really, I don't. Strange.
Oh... got diaper making supplies in the mail today. Next week I am going to start making some serious cloth diapers!! Pictures to follow!!
