Doctor's Appointment

Had my 12 week (a little early) appointment this morning. All went well. We heard the heartbeat, which was sort of disappointing because it would have been nice if she hadn't been able to find it and had to do an ultrasound to make sure everything's okay. But the heart was chugging away, which is always so special to hear. We talked about screening tests and we decided to go ahead with the Nuchal Translucency Screening, so that's next Wednesday. Everything else was great. Blood pressure was nice and low, no weight gain yet, and I'm doing well. I just hope it continues this way. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and praying that it doesn't.

You are at the point where you don't need to "keep waiting for the other shoe to drop"... you are the point where you just sit back, get a big belly and enjoy it all!!!!! This is a wonderful time for you - you are becoming a Mommy and it's the best thing in the world. Good luck on Wednesday.

The only shoes you have to worry about are the ones on your feet...that they don't swell in the heat. You are at a great place in your pregnancy and I totally agree with Holly--relax and get that big belly while enjoying your pregnancy.

Yay for 12 week marks! Just being nosey, why are you having the nuchal done? You and Chris are both young... does down's run in your family history? Again, being nosey... you don't have to respond. :)
