BIG ULTRASOUND!

It's a girl!!!! Dr. confirmed today, she said she is 200% positive we are having a little girl. Chris and I are very excited. All her measurements look good and she has all her fingers/toes. We are measuring right on target and she weighs about 11 ounces. We haven't thought about any names yet, but now we know to shop for pink stuff.

Another Dr. Appt

We had another Dr. appt yesterday. After waiting in the waiting room for an 1 1/2 hours I finally saw the Dr. for about 7 minutes. Everything is good, the results from my 1st blood tests look good and I had more blood work taken for the 2nd blood tests. The heartbeat was good between 145-150 beats. I got my flu shot since my work considered me a "liability" and refused to give it to me and I've gained another 2lbs. The Dr. also explained the cramping/aching I've been feeling is round ligament pain. Below is information I found on the website pregnancy.com regarding round ligament pain. I go back for a checkup in another 4 weeks, however I was able to schedule the "Big Ultrasound" in 2 weeks on 11/21, so hopefully we will confirm our baby's gender before Thanksgiving.

What causes round ligament pain?
The round ligament supports the uterus and stretches during pregnancy. It connects the front portion of the uterus to the groin. These ligaments contract and relax like muscles, but much more slowly. Any movement (including going from a sitting position to standing position quickly, laughing, or coughing) that stretches these ligaments, by making the ligaments contract quickly, can cause a woman to experience pain. Round ligament pain should only last for a few seconds.
