26-8-2009 - 3rd Appointment @ 16 weeks!

My mood while writing this blog: anxious

---

Well I went to see the doctor for my 3rd appointment and it was really quick. They told me that the baby was negative for cystic fibrosis and downs syndrome. They took my blood for another test, but I forgot which one. We also listened to the baby's heartbeat which was 150 bpm. I am so sure that it is a girl, but I won't know until the 22nd of September. I am so anxious cause it is 4 weeks away. I know after I find out, I will be more relaxed and ready to move to a bigger place.

On the down side I keep forgetting to take my prenatal vitamins. I stopped taking them earlier in the pregnancy cause it was making me sick. I was supposed to start back at 14 weeks, but because I am not a pill taker I forget that I need to take them. I know that sounds weird, cause I should remember since I am pregnant, but I do forget. I am just so happy and can't wait to know what I am having. If it is a boy I will be ok because my son will have a brother to play with. If it is a girl, I will be thrilled because I will have a "complete set". Thanks for letting me vent ladies!

I forget to take them sometimes too. I think the first trimester is the most important time to take them. My mom didn't and I now have a back condition due to lack of folic acid in the first trimester. I think as long as you take them when you remember you should be ok. I accidently went 3 days! I felt pretty bad but now I'm really trying to remember. I'm not a pill taker either so I can sympathize with you!
