january Jan 18, 2007: We had our third appointment today. I was just a quick check up where Dr. Meinz listened for the heart beat with the dopller, which was 150. She had to chase the little rug rat around a couple of times to get a good reading! Baby is still VERY active, which is a good thing. Like the Dr. said he/she is already aserting his/her independence! Oh dear, if in fact that is true we are in so much trouble when this baby makes his/her debut into the world! She said my blood pressure was good and I am measuring where I should be, so all must be progressing well. I have had a nasty cold thing going on and told Dr what I have been taking and she said that was fine. Hopefully it will go away soon. I also had my last blood draw for another couple of months, thankfully. It took two people to get what they needed. The first girl tried and had no luck so she went to get someone else with a lo more experience and she has NO problem! The blood was for the last portion of the triple-screeen test we started back in December. We should have the results from the triple-screen in 7 to10 days. I am not overly concerned since the ultrasound that went with the triple-screen looked great according to the tech. Our next appointment is on Feb 15; this is the BIG one! We get another more intense ultrasound and hopefully we will be able to fid out what we are having! Then comes the difficult task of picking names! We are going to pick both a name for a boy and girl JUST IN CASE they are wrong or baby won't cooperate. I am feeling pretty good - still have some morning sickness, but it's not like it was. I was having some pretty bad back pains sleeping at night so I went out and bought a memory foam mattress pad for my side of the bed and a special pregnancy pillow that is supposed to help keep my spine and hips correctly aligned. So far so good! None of my regular pants fit me anymore so I have gone onto stretchy cotton pants and some maternity pants, which of course are still too big but at least I am comfortable. Jan 30, 2007: The results are in from our triple screen today - NEGATIVE! WOO HOO!!!
