I wanted to wait and post after I had my appointment so that I would be able to post whether my baby has a Y chromosome or not, but I find that I am very disappointed in todays proceedings. For starters....I had to wait a long time to even get called back. That was unusual. Then, I had to wait to give a urine specimen, and that was killer, considering this adorable little baby of mine was using my bladder as a trampoline.
Then I got my weight checked, and I have gained 4 pounds... I am in my 4th month...not bad, I guess. Then I waited in the room for 2.5 seconds when the doctor came in, felt for my uterus, heard the baby's heartbeat, and shooed me along. Then I had to have blood taken for the AFP Tetra test...the test that screens for Open Neural Tube Defects, Down Syndrome, and Trisomy 18. For starters, I dont think this lady was very good at drawing blood, and once she got started on me, I was certain this was not her forte'. I figured out that it was most definitely not when she jammed the needle slam through my elbow. I swear, she got cartilage. Usually having my blood drawn doesnt bother me, but today, it HURT. So, that woman will never again touch me with anything sharper than a marker!
Last night was a nice night. Jeremy and I ordered pizza from my favorite place in Gloucester and watched A Charlie Brown Christmas and ate pizza in front of the tv. It was great, and it was so cold outside, that I dont think I wanted to be anywhere else.
So...my next shot at finding out my baby's sex is December 12th...lets hope I do! This is killing me!
