my 12 week check up... - Pregnancy

Meghann · 06-15-2006, 08:40 PM

was absolutely perfect today!

It was supposed to be a regular physical exam, but the heart monitor that my midwife had sucked (

) and an ultrasound machine just happened to be in the room so she was like, "let's just hook it up and see"

So I got to see my baby today!!!!!

He/She is growing perfectly, I'm right on schedule for a Christmas delivery(

), and he/she was moving so much I almost cried. The hands were wiggling, one leg was moving, the heart was beautiful.

So today I scheduled my 20 week appt. for July 31, which I'll actually be about 19 weeks by then.

I scheduled my next check up 4 weeks from now, July 12.

And because of my "extra weight" (

) they want to do my glucose test a little sooner than normal, which is fine with me. So YAY!!!

My little one is perfect, and ACTIVE!!

thanks ladies

You know what I keep thinking about? First I think, "Jeezus I have THE REST OF THE YEAR to be pregnant!!"

which kinda makes it sound like I'm going to be pregnant forever!

But then I think, "wow, I'll be half way by the end of next month" which in some way makes it seem like it's going faster.

...ok, I know I'm a little

but still, I'm so happy to have a healthy baby

YAY!!!!!
I had to get early glucose testing too. Failed my first and had to do the three hour one. I think I was around 16 weeks. I have large babies so they think that gee it must be GD and I proved them wrong everytime.

Yeah, I'm really hoping I don't fail.

I didn't with Bruce, so my fingers are crossed.
...but then, being preggo with Bruce is how I gained all this extra "fluff" and that's why (they say) they want to do it a little earlier. But still,
