29-4-2009 - New Due Date-Moving in the Right Direction!!

My mood while writing this blog: Excited!

Well, I finally had my next doctor appointment after my ultrasound... and everything looks great! In fact, the baby was measuring 12w6d, when we originally thought it was 11w,6d! So, my due date has been moved up to October 20! Im pretty excited about that!

Other info from the ultrasound - the heartbeat was 155bpm, and the Nucheal folds (spelling?) were normal and thin!! I knew the baby was ok, because it was kicking and moving like CRAZY!

I still cant believe I got to advance a whole week!!

This doctor appointment went much better than the last, Shannon was with me, and I think that made a difference in how the doctor treated me... She was really nice this time (still sort of stupid to be honest) but atleast she was more friendly. She kept saying how cute we were! We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, it was beating so strong! The rate was 135 this time, and she said it was normal for it to vary.

I am up to 117 (pre pregnancy weight was 108 fully dressed) so I am pretty happy with that. I have gained 3 lbs since my last appointment a month ago. I dont worry about gaining too much weight, because with my extra small size I think I could use the extra weight even if i wasnt pregnant, so I want to make sure i gain enough for baby to be comfy for a whole 9 months in there!

I asked her about whether my cone biopsy would effect my pregnancy negatively, and she didnt seem to know a whole lot about it, but she could tell i was concerned, so she agreed to write a letter to my OB to make sure he didnt have any concerns at this point, so that made me feel better.

I did have some leukocytes (spelling?) in my urine, but she said it was probably just contamination from the vagina. I am finding it harder and harder to accurately fill the cup without getting it all over my hands! lol. Kind of gross but I know you ladies are probably having the same problems!

Other good news, is that my next appointment is June 3, which means it will be my last appointment with my family doctor before I get to go to my OB on July 3!!! I absolutely adore my OB, he is such a great man, and I know he will keep my baby and i safe from here on out! Cant wait!

We went to Motherhood after the appointment to get me some new clothes (i only have one pair of jeans that still fit, but they are too tight when i sit down)... I was really dissapointed because their size small was WAY too big for me :( She told me that their size small is a size 7-8, when I am a size 1-2 normally... I was sad because i was so excited to get some new stuff, and anything they had that might fit me was so expensive... dont they understand that little people get pregnant too? I did get a tummy sleeve so that i can wear my regular pants undone, and then you cover the top with this wide elastic band. I am wearing it today, its pretty comfy...

Other than that, things are well, cant wait until i can feel my baby moving... wont be long now!! I thought i might have felt something last night, but i think it was too strong to be my baby... any comments? it felt like a BIG bubble bursting (i thought it might be gas actually, but it didnt end in a toot, so i guess it wasnt gas?)

Hope you are all doing well... anyone else having a ton of trouble concentrating on anything other than baby??? I feel like i cant even get through the day at work, although most of the sleepiness has passed, and i rarely feel nautious anymore, but VERY hungry almost all the time.
