Week 17 Ultrasound

It's a Girl! I'm too excited to write anything else on this post.

Week 16

We are looking forward to the ultrasound on Friday, May 22nd. Especially Ainsley. She keeps asking me when we will find out if it is a boy or girl. Everyone I bump into has been asking this same question. Ainsley's friends have been asking if they can babysit. Since they're all 10, I guess we will not have a shortage of babysitters in a few years! Wow, the baby is growing, and me along with it. Did I not expect this?? Well, it has been ten years and I think I've forgotten what it's like to be pregnant.

Welcome to Week 15

Just another week? I thought so at the beginning of the week. On Monday, I had another prenatal visit with Dr. Malak, my regular Ob/Gyn doctor, in which we discussed the test results from the prenatal screening conducted two weeks ago. The most fruitful thing that came from this discussion is that I've decided to ask Dr. Khawli, the high risk pregnancy doctor, what his miscarriage rate is for amniocentesis. Maybe this will reassure me about having this done. So my next step is to call Dr. Khawli's office and find out. Dr. Malak assures me that I won't offend the doctor, because he knows this is a very important factor. We also listened to the heartrate. It was loud and strong! I know this baby is growing lots because I'm a lot bigger. What else important happened this week? I don't really want to admit it, because I don't want to jinx it, but I think the nausea has subsided quite a bit. Like a light bulb, I'm up and around more. There's just dizziness now so I'm taking it easy. I'm on the computer more and writing some new and interesting things so check out my new pages at Squidoo.com.
