So I have my 3rd pre-natal appointment Monday. Super excited, I wanna hear the heart beat again!
I did get my 2nd trimester genetic screening done last Wednesday. It doesn't have the 95% accuracy rate that the full Integrated screening does (1st and 2nd trimester blood screen, and the NT ultrasound) but I thought about it some more, and with my career I have been around xrays and inhalant anesthesia for 7+ years, it may be a good idea. Hope to have results by the sonogram.
My sonogram is the following Monday and (A) is going to be the surrogate Dad present for this. I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby!
I went out with (A) and (S) for dinner last night at a wine bar and the food was yummy! I am trying to get out more so I can actually stay up past 9 pm! I am surprised that I don't even have a desire to drink wine?!?! I mean, I love wine, I love wine tasting, and I don't even have the urge, or want to drink it. I am sure my liver will benefit from 9+ months of sobriety, but not sure that will cure the 10+ years of abuse that I have done to it. I thought I was a generally healthy person before, but now, I really feel like a rock star!
So my body definitely is feeling the change. Walking too long makes my hips feel like someone tied bricks to them that are swinging by my feet. I just can't even imagine what I will feel like when I am actually huge!
Oh, and 18 weeks and the baby is the size of a bell pepper, so I am calling her/him, "My lil' belle!"
