15 week check-up

Two good heartbeats today!  The rates are 139 and 140.  My weight:  154.  I think that's a 9 pound jump since the last post.......and I think I need to slow it down a bit!  I've definitely started to show.  The doctor is sending me to see a specialist at Strong, who I will continue to see throughout the pregnancy.  This is due to the surgeries I've had on my cervix.  They need to make sure my cervix can hold tight.  If not, I'm looking at a surgery to stitch it up.  And lots of bed rest.  In another week, I'll go in for blood work for neural-tube defects and Down Syndrome.  That just gives us the probability of there being a problem.  If the probability is high, we can continue with more tests, like an amniocentesis.  Next appointment in 2 weeks.  And, by the way, I'm feeling SO much better now.  AND, I have been feeling movements for this past week.  Very cool!!!!
