Does it seem odd to anyone else that I'm only ten weeks along and I've already had THREE ultrasounds? I went to the ob/gyn at five weeks, she was great and just really wanted me to hear the heartbeat. That made me happy. I had another appt at seven weeks, where I thought she was just going to go over my blood tests. Instead, she gave me another ultrasound which resulted in a funny picture that looks like a suspicious Bjork glaring out of a round window. Then today, I went in *again* for an appt, thinking it was weird to have so many appts back to back, and they gave me ANOTHER ultrasound. This time it was over the belly so my Girl didn't have to get involved, so that was a relief, but still. Weird, huh? The pictures are super fuzzy and hard to tell what it is, but the bellybeans' heartbeat is stronger than ever. That makes me happy.
I told them I'm a "no" on all unnecessary tests and that I won't request any more ultrasounds. She agreed but said that she just needs one more set at 20 weeks. Okay, fine. I also don't have to go back at all for a month so that's good news.
I still haven't gained any weight, but it is definitely redistributing itself in an odd fashion. I already got a bellaband so that's helping, at least I don't have to button my pants anymore. I'm still not really nauseous, though I did hurl last night from just flat eating too much at once and trying to put a prenatal on top of that. All in all, life is good, I never thought it could all be this easy.
Knock. On Wood.
