Check Up!

Hey All!

We went back to the doc for a check up today and all is perfect! Our AFP blood panel came back negative, which is great. The panel screens for Spinal Bifida, Downs Syndrome and other chromosomal problems. My blood pressure is perfect- the doc actually said that mine is better than hers, the baby is measuring on target, AND the heartbeat was 150ish. For all you Myth Busters out there, girls typically have the higher heart rate, but we'll just have to wait and see! :)

My 20 week sonogram has been officially scheduled for Monday, March 8th at 2:30PM! I'm starting to get more anxious, and I definitely have a feeling about the gender... what do you think?

Is it a boy? Or a girl?

Oh Baby!

Most followers already know that we're expecting our peanut! This blog may or may not turn into a mommy-blog, but I have been wanting to try it out regardless. I follow a lot of other mommy-blogs and I enjoy the knowledge and the sense of being connected to other people experiencing the same things as us.

I'm officially 17 weeks today and persevering back to a sense of normalcy. I personally, am still waiting for the fabulousness that is supposedly pregnancy. I'm not going to get all National Geographic, but my first trimester was awful! I am super thankful for today being my 10th day in a row (since NOVEMBER) of non-throwing upness-YES! I'm also finally recovering from a 3 week chest cold. As if being pregnant isn't enough, I have also been blessed with allergies to most approved medications for pregnant women- double YES! All is well. I am anxiously awaiting first movements or flutters. I think I may already be having them and not recognizing it.

The sonogram picture is from our first OBGYN appointment way back on December 11. The x's are NOT multiple babies, but the measurement from crown to rump. It's cute, right? :o)
