so i'm moving right along at 15 weeks now. the doctor says Duanita is doing just fine and my tummy's growing like it should be. although, when i saw the scale, i wasn't too flattered. ick.
we don't return until Oct 22, for the next ultrasound and test results (cuz i'm old). they ran tests to see if the baby will have any deformities or down's syndrome. he said that even if the tests come back negative, there's still a chance (8-10%) the baby will still have down's. we're preparing ourselves for anything.
we also get to find out the sex of the baby, if Duanita is cooperating. i think they can only tell if it's in a certain position or something and Duanita seems to be pretty stubborn already.
other than that, i'm doing really well. my co-workers still don't believe i'm pregnant because i haven't had any "symptoms" or morning sickness. trust me, i am! to prove it, look at my hips! yes, "they are spreading" says my doctor. i told him my butt was numb at nite and he just casually states, "your hips are spreading. your nerves are shot". uh... thanks? this is also the time of headaches. i'm getting those a LOT now. and they stay for something like TWO DAYS!! not fun. Tylenol sux0rz! also, he said that i would start showing, showing in the next month. like, really showing. YAY! so now i won't look "just fat".
here's a vid of me and the doc listening to the baby's heartbeat. i recorded it for HM cuz i thot i was just going in for 'blood draw'.
