Latest Doctor's visit

So, I finally got to see my doctor today, and now I am on information overload!



I guess I should back up and revisit the thyroid issue. It is fine thanks to my brother, Russ, for putting me at ease. Turns out the thyroid is in a whole different location than the midwife was inspecting...hmmmmm. I guess I should have paid more attention in anatomy class ( That midwife should have done the same.)



Anyway, I now know that I will be getting a shot in the fanny every week starting in two weeks until I give birth! Which is officially July 8. Woo hoo, this pregnancy just keeps getting more fun. The doctor seems to think that these shots will give me a better chance of carrying full term, which I am extremely excited about.



I love the idea of having a FAT baby!!!!!!!!!!



In addition to getting my first shot in two weeks, I will also be getting the AFP test, which is a series of tests checking for birth defects. That means more bloodwork, but another ultrasound.

I also have to do my first sucrose test...more bloodwork. I will be surprised if I don't pass out from blood loss!



The good news is that the morning sickness seems to finally be going away, and I am getting a little more energy back. Yay!



Yours,
