16 Week Appointment


Yesterday was our 16 week doctors appointment. Unfortunately they lost my test results from my first blood test, so they had to take 6 tubes of blood...yuck. They need all that blood so they can do the CVS test (from the first trimester again), and the multiple marker screening. Basically they are testing for any chromosomal or genetic disorders. The nurse said that if something shows up she gets a phone call within a week. If nothing shows up then she gets the results via mail in two to three weeks. So we are just hoping that we don't get a phone call from her so we know that everything came back clean.
The best part of the visit was (and always is) when we got to listen to the heartbeat. The doctor said that it was strong and that it sounded like the baby was moving around alot. I can't feel the baby moving yet but I should be able to in a few weeks...can't wait. Our next appointment is February 2nd. It's the big one! We get to have our first ultrasound, which means that we will find out the sex. I can't wait to know what we are having. I am all ready to pick out paint for the baby's room!
