i am now 17 weeks pregnant...yeah! today i had another dr. appt for some blood work to determine if the baby has down syndrome or other diseases/disabilities. the worst part was the weigh in :-) and the best part was hearing the baby's little heartbeat.
i have gained 8 lbs so far and my doctor said she would like me to gain a total of 20!! that means that i should only gain 12 more lbs. throughout the whole entire pregnancy....i'll try. the blood work was an experience because they had to do it 3 different times. they found a vein in each arm but nothing would come out. when the nurse took out the first needle blood squirted everywhere! it was down my arm....on the floor....everywhere! good thing i am a weird person and enjoy getting blood drawn. so finanlly a new "professional" blood taker had to come in and attemp to get my blood. well she opted for my wrist which was very odd but it worked. so now i have 3 bandaids and a slightly bruised wrist.
here are a couple photos of my 17 week belly.
