Today I had my 14 week check up and things went great. It was pretty straight forward. The usual question, answer time, and checking for a heartbeat. There was ONE strong heartbeat about 140bpm. That was Steve's question when he called me this morning to see how my appt went " There was only one heartbeat right?"
Next I need to make an appointment to have my blood drawn to check for Downs syndrome. Steve and I talked about it briefly this morning. We are not scared or nervous that it will show possibilities of downs, but it is what it is. If it comes back that there is a strong possibility then that is what we will be leaving it at that.
4 weeks to go until my next Dr appointment and 6 weeks until my next ultrasound. Steve and I have still not decided on whether to find out the sex of the baby or not. I know that I am still indecisive about it, not too sure on what Steve is thinking. I guess we have 6 weeks to figure it out.

I'm too chicken Not to find out what the sex is. I like to have a little heads up on what to buy.

Ew don't you have to do the amniosentesis (I know I probably spelled that wrong) for the downs check? Yucky! I never dared to do that and I figured since it wouldn't matter to me anyway..I chickened out =) You're already such a good, brave mommy HAHA!!
I never got the Downs check either simply cuz it wouldn't make a difference to me anyway. I'd want the baby either way. But if you just want to be prepared I understand. Are you doing the amnio? Or is that the step after getting the blood drawn? Anyhoo, glad you are feeling better. Isn't it such a relief?
