17 weeks

So I went to the doc today, and I have to wait 4 more weeks to find out the sex of the baby. SUCH a bummer. We could have an additional ultrasound, at our own expense, to find out the sex, but I am cheap =)

They took blood for another round of tests...I feel like a pin cushion every time I go in there!! Pee in a cup, stab my arms/hands, weigh me....it is more like torture than a doctors appointment.....geezz. All of the other tests have come back normal so far, so hopefully this one will be the same. I haven't really gained any weight yet, and the doc said that is normal with first pregnancies...hopefully I won't balloon out at the end =)

I did get to hear the heartbeat again today....it is quite fast and fairly strong. That kiddo is pretty tucked back in there though, the doc has to maneuver around and push on my tummy to find it each time....I think *she* is sitting right on top of my bladder - man do I have to potty a lot!!!

I also went to the dermatologist today - no spots removed (yeah!!) but there are two spots that she wants me to monitor for the next few months. She said that with being pregnant, my chances of having some of my moles/spots change goes way up, and she wants to make sure no new melanoma spots come out. That would suck big time. At least we are watching them....which reminds me that I need to get Andy to look at them because they are on the backs of my legs and very hard for me to see....HA!
