September 11, 2013: 17 Weeks, 6 days

The doctor's appointment went well today. We heard the heartbeat again (150 BPM) and that's always reassuring. The results from the ultra-sound two weeks ago were good, everything looked like it was supposed to (although due to fetal age and position they weren't able to check on some things). They didn't see anything alarming or off though. Also my second trimester screening came back just fine.

I do have to do a glucose test next week to check for gestational diabetes. It's a three hour blood test and you can't eat for 10 hours before hand (OMG, how will I survive?) While I'm not really looking forward to the test, it is encouraging to be taking a test that I haven't had before - because I never got far enough along to take it.

The following week we have a check up, and the third week out is the 20-week anatomy scan at UC Davis Medical center in Sacramento. I'm very much looking forward to that milestone. No pictures to share today, but that's the update.
