So today was my 16th week checkup. I now weigh 150lbs, which if you don't remember is back where I began. Therefore, I'm still considered under weight. I should have gained 8-10lbs by now. The good news is I can now keep my food down so the extra couple of pounds shouldn't be a problem with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner. I need to start gaining 1pound per week now.
Dr. Wolk also went over my labs from last time. I don't have rubella, UTI (yeah!), chlamydia, syphilis, hep b, gonorrhea, or HIV. Which is good because otherwise clay would have some explaining to do. Also when Dr Wolk told me my blood type, I was shocked...and so was my mother. My mom, dad, jimmy, shannon, and mitchell all have A+. I don't. I'm apparently O+. Crazy. I had know idea. I have thought the last 25yrs I was also A+, like the rest of the family. Who knew?
Clay also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. He said he wanted to get a copy of the heartbeat and turn it into a techno, which made Dr Wolk laugh. Clay seemed unimpressed with the whole thing, other than he's glad the baby is doing well. He said the ultrasound was more exciting...which almost made him cry. Our next ultrasound is in 4 weeks,which is right before Christmas.
