I went for another routine prenatal checkup today. I'm 23 weeks along, and the baby is doing great! Heartrate was good and she's moving around all the time. Doctor said she was growing well, and it looks like she'll be comparable in weight to Carter (who was 9 lbs, 12 oz!). Wow, something to look forward to! No, he wasn't bad at all, and my labor with him was suprisingly easy for as big as he was.
I also got the results from my AFP test (prescreener for genetic disorders). Everything was negative -- 1 in 3000 chance for trisomy 18 and 1 in 10,000 chance for down's syndrome. So the doctor is very confident that baby is super healthy with no genetic abnormalities!
I go back in four weeks for my glucose screening and an ultrasound to check on the blood vessels in the umbilical cord. Everything will be fine either way, but it will be fun to see how much she's grown! I'm just so thankful that everything is going well, and feel so blessed to be having another healthy baby!
