Bit of An Update...
Posted: 04-04-07 20:16pm

Well, I did refuse to get my blood drawn at the first visit. Sad I could not help it. I got lectured for the rest of the day, and basically told to get over it. Guess what, if it worked like that, it wouldn't be that hard. I don't know. The doctor said I could try it at the next appointment. Other than that, I'm healthy (other than the fact I need to watch what I eat i.e. no more fast food! and walk more). She also tried to tell me I was only about 12 weeks along. I know my body better than that, and figured I was about 4 months. The following week I had my first ultrasound. That was something I won't ever forget. Smile The picture came up and I saw the baby and said OMG! lol. It was really neat. My boyfriend started tearing up a bit, and was just as fascinated as I was. I found out real quick why I had to go to the bathroom so bad all the sudden. The baby was breech and bouncing up and down on my bladder! I was cool to watch, and the tech and my boyfriend were laughing, but damn I had to go! lol She took the pictures and stuff, and told me I was 16 weeks and 3 days along (told ya doc.) I'm due September 7. When she was done I sat up, and we asked for some pics on a cd so we could email them to family, and she had me lay back down. The baby had had enough by then. It was pouting, and trying to hide. lol She could not get a decent picture the second time around. It was cute. No.....she couldn't tell boy or girl.....as much as the bugger was bouncing around, it kept it's legs firmly crossed. lol The tech said they were usually able to see "something" if it was a boy, so I still have hope that it will be a girl!!! lol Either way, it don't matter. Smile It would be nice if I could start getting things that were colors other than yellow and green though....lol Well, Just thought I'd share my excitement! lol

Congrats, glad all is well.
I'm not sure if I completely understand this, but how is the baby breech? as far as I know, s/he can still turn completely around as you're only around 17 weeks....can someone explain this to me? (not trying to be rude, but questioning my own knowledge)

Maybe she means the baby was in a breech position. But I was under the impression the baby had to be dropped and ready for labour to be breech? I dunno either Rolling Eyes

I dunno. The lady said it was in a breech position at the moment. My bf asked her if that was a problem and she said nah, because it could still flip around a million times before birth.

No, still waiting. Although when I lay funny on my side it feels like somethings poking me, kinda like saying "hey! your squishing me!" lol. I doubt it's the baby, but, ya never know! Razz
