Doctor called back the other day and let me know that the ultrasound looked great and there are no concerns about baby, so I guess he/she doesn't look as weird as I thought haha. Said there are no signs of genetic disorders on the ultrasound and my risk factor is incredibly low since I'm really young and there is no family history. Probably won't be doing any genetic testing then.
Was told that I need to gain more weight though, they want to see me up at least 8lbs from where I am now by March 20th (my next appointment), which would only be about 3lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost a bit of weight in the beginning and haven't gained it back yet. Baby is also measuring yet another day behind now putting me 6 days behind the original due date. So my due date may be later or I just need to gain some more so baby can grow, but for now they want to keep me at september 1st.
Still not much in the symptoms department. Boobs are less sore, and dont really hurt at all most days. No nausea unless I go too long without eating. I've been a little more tired, but I feel like that's due to other life things going on. If I hadn't just seen baby's heartbeat and just heard the good ultrasound results from my doctor then I may be concerned!
I did drive to Babies "R" Us so I could start my registry in person. I wanted to look at everything, feel it, see the sizes and stuff and wanted to let my boys help pick things out. Was pretty exciting and made me feel happy for the first time. I got the overwhelming feeling that maybe everything is going to be okay. I'm glad I went and did that! Was a bit depressing though I had made one online for the miscarried baby and forgot about it so when they put my info in that one popped up and she said "Due March 25th?" and my heart sank. I had to tell her, No we lost that baby. I felt like crying right there. I mean she could see me, did I look 8 months pregnant?!?! No. I don't look pregnant at all! Oh well. Not her fault. We got the new one with the right date set up this time. :)
Hope everyone is doing well!
