Ok... here's the thread I've been promising for those of you who wonder how I'm doing thus far.
Last Tuesday I went to have some blood drawn. They're doing what's called a "quad screen". It's 4 different tests they do on the blood to make sure that there's no abnormalities in the baby. I won't get the results for about another week yet. I won't say I'm on pins and needles, but I am looking forward to making sure everything is ok.
All in all, I'm doing pretty good. The nausea and the "spit thing" is finally gone (YAY!) and my weight is on track, or so my nurse says. I'm still wishing I could lose a few pounds!
Other than that, I'm starting to get little sharp tugging pains on the ligaments on the underside of my belly, especially if I try to stand up quick or I laugh too hard. It only lasts a second or two but, man, it smarts!!! I've also noticed the beginning of the demon stretch marks. Not looking forward to those either, but I know they're inevitable unless you have really fantastic genetics or a great plastic surgeon. Maybe I'll just think of them as a badge of courage....
Anyway, that's it for now. I'm feeling good and looking forward to my next ultrasound December 2nd. Maybe we'll get to know what sex the little tadpole is! I'll let you know.
