I met my OBGYN today and he seems nice. Went over the paperwork and all that boring crap. I was asked what I do for a living and felt so pathetic when I answered, "I'm a student." Anyway, I heard baby's heart beat and he said it's very strong and healthy! He also told me that he expects this pregnancy to go very well. My second cousin has spina bifida and I am concerned that it is in my genetics. I hope not. My cousin is amazing but personally, I don't think I'd be able to handle a child with a disability. Then again ...I would have to since there is no way in Hell or anywhere else in this universe that I would abort/give up for adoption. Selfish or not, you take my baby, you take me too. I have to take blood next week (when I'm in my sixteenth week) and they'll be testing for down syndrome, spina bifida etc., This will tell me what my risk is like.
173 more days! Hurry up!
PS. The last time I went to my family doctor I was around 13 weeks and weighed 125 (give or take a pound) and at this appointment with my ObGyn I weigh 130! Well, the scale was a hair before 130 but I'm not obsessing (I REALLY ONLY WEIGH 129.8!) Anyway, this is excellent because in 4 months I've only gained 5 pounds. If I can keep this up maybe I'll only gain 10 pounds! Haha, probably not ...I'm trying for 15 at most! It's hard to keep myself from dieting though ...130 is the heaviest I've ever been.
