My OBGYN likes to see patients every four weeks so I was due to see him again this week. I had to move my appt from Thursday to Monday due to a work conflict so I saw him at 10 weeks and 4 days. The appt went really quickly. He came in, felt my uterus externally, we listened to the heart beat and that was about it. HB was 160 so he's predicting a girl. He did tell me that my blood work showed that I am slightly anemic so I'll need to take some extra iron. But all in all a pretty boring appointment. With Lillian, we opted not to get the genetic testing and blood work done. After everything we go through to get pregnant we figure we're probably not going to do anything even if there was something wrong, so why stress about something you can't control. It's a very personally decision, but that's how we choose to approach it. Problem is, when you a normal patient that means you don't get to see the baby until like 20 weeks!!! I've had hardly any spotting so I'm not getting weekly ultrasounds like I was last time. I'm really considering breaking down and doing one of those 3D places in a few weeks. We'll see. Next appt in 4 weeks! Good news is I'm getting my doopler back from my friend I lent it to so hopefully that will help with the anxiety I'm having about not seeing the baby.

So we went to the RE and saw one perfect little bean, with one little heartbeat (at 100 BPM)

After seeing the heartbeat, the RE released me since I was OOP. My OB wanted to see me 1 week later. The appt went well and I got to see the baby again.


Sorry for the delay in posting. We've been dealing with some health issues with my daughter which have been taking up all my time. Will post more about it later.
