Another Update
Hey everyone, sorry it's been a long time. I have been so busy lately and still have no energy. I finally got some maternity clothes at the beginning of June and man, do I feel I ton better. My jeans were gettign so tight I thought I was going to die in them, lol. I started showing really early with this baby for some reason, I was shocked at how early I started to show.
Anyways, today I am 17 weeks 5 days pregnant. I am showing ALOT now and I have been feeling the baby kick also! I love that feeling! Gives you reassurance that the little peanut is very well and happy in there!
I started seeing my OB at 13 weeks pregnant and I still don't like him very much but have no choice but to stay with him. He was the only doctor I could find to accept me as a gestational carrier with my insurance. I called tons and tons of docs and no one would accept me but him. So I guess I have to stay with him. Next time though, I am going to start looking months earlier for a doctor so I don't have to stay with him again. I don't like doctors that I am not comfortable with. One of my IF's came to my appoitment on June 8th and the doctor did not even acknowledge that he was there. I thought that was kinda rude! But anyways, the baby's heartbeat was 160bpm on June 8th so that's great! He wants me to go in for the blood work on the 20th for downs syndrome and stuff.
I talked to my IF's about the amnio. I asked them, since they can test for most of the genetic defects in blood now, do I need to still go through with the amnio? They emailed me back and they said if my blood tests come back fine, then we can skip the amnio. I am scared to death of the amnio and the big needle going into my belly. I would rather not go through with it then get the comp that is in my contract for it. But of course, if it is medically nessasary then yes I will do it. But not just to test paternity and such, you know?
Oh yeah, I also go in for an ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant to find out what the sex of the baby is! I can't wait! I love finding out. I hate not knowing what it is, drives me nuts! LOL Plus, my IF's want to know also, they agree that it would be easier to plan and decorate and shop if they know what it is going to be!
I have not been sleeping well for awhile now. I can't get comfy and when I do, I still wake up every few hours or so. I take a nap everyday because I am so tired and can't keep my eyes open. My legs and feet have also been killing me. Thank god my husband helps me out by giving me massages or else I would be in major pain!
Well, that's my update for now. I promise I won't not write that long again!
