1/26/10 - YAY Doctor Day :)

Well, today was FINALLY my second baby appointment, and I could not wait! The appointment started out well on the scale...still below what I weighed when I got pregnant, so that was great news! Ann (my midwife) wants me to limit my gain to 10-15 pounds! AHHH, that sounds impossible, but I will do my best! Next, we went over my ultrasound results. Apparently the technician recommended moving my due date, and Ann wanted to go by that, so my new date is 7/28/10. Only a week later, but it's always a little disheartening to go backwards! We talked about my headaches and "all day" sickness, and she said there really isn't much we can do about it. Tylenol is the only thing I can take for headaches, and unless my all day sickness gets worse, I have to just tough it out, so will do! Finally, the best part...laying on that table and listening to that wonderful heartbeat. Ahhh, it is such an amazing relief to hear that sound, and she picked it up right away, which was even better. I wish I could hear it all the time!! The appointment ended with me getting my H1N1 vaccination...I was very nervous about it, but I trust Ann and she really wanted me to get it. Since I'm out of my first trimester, I agreed.

I go back in two weeks for my quad screening. Some people are really against getting it done, which I just don't understand. I think it's such a great tool to help you prepare for anything, and I like to be prepared! Then, I go back 4 weeks later for my next check up...so far away :(

Other than that, it was Tuesday as usual. Work has been absolutely crazy, and I don't see that changing any time soon! Job security right :) Olivia and Rico have been spending more and more quality time together, however, they are starting to act like siblings, fighting over the toys:











Until tomorrow!!!
