Pre-natal appointment #2

Well people, I gained 5 lbs.  5 lbs....boo.  The doc said, "Well, you can't gain 5 lbs every month," after I asked her if the 5 lb gain was too much.  She also suggesting not wearing a sweater the next time, little does she know, I almost stripped naked when the nurse asked me to get on the scale.  I guess my home scale is generous, since this AM I weighed almost 2 lbs lighter.  Ha, I am being a bit neurotic about this, I know.  But I need something to focus on that is ridiculous so I don't loose it on things that I need to have it together for.

We talked about my cramps, etc, and to reassure me that I was okay she did several things.
1) Checked for the heart beat.  Check and yippee!- a strong 150 bpm.
2) Checked to make sure my cervix was still closed.  Check.
3) Had me pee in a cup to see if I have a UTI.  Pending...

So needless to say, I feel much more confident in the health of my baby.

I have to schedule my 18 week sonogram!  HOLY COW, that is only a month away!  It seems like this is going way too fast, yet not fast enough.

I still can get the 2nd blood test for genetic screening if I choose too.  Still not sure I will.  I am so confused about this.  My gut seems to be missing on this right now and I don't know the right answer.    Maybe that is my answer though.
