17 week Appointment

I had my appointment with the mid-wife yesterday. I have to say I enjoyed my appointment with her way better than with my ob. I felt she really took the time to explain things to me and did not make me feel stupid with my questions. I have only gained 1/2 a pound but she said it could have been the clothes I was wearing so she is not even calling it a weight gain. She, is fine with the fact I have not gained much weight since I started out heavier to begin with. All, my blood work came back great. She, said I have a really great immune system. The only thing is I have Onegative blood which is really rare and I can only receive Onegative blood. So, starting at 24 weeks since I have a negative blood type I will start receiving shots so the baby does not reject my blood. I go back February 5th, for the BIG ultrasound but we are NOT finding out what we are having!!! I'm beyond thrilled for jellybean to remain a surprise until birth. I'm really excited to start putting the nursery together soon. Guess, that means I really need to finish cleaning that room out!!!


I feel beyond blessed to have so far had a very easy and healthy pregnancy. I appreciate all the prayers that have been said for me and this precious miracle I'm carrying.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

I'm so excited! And how FUN to not find out! That will be a HUGE surprise when you have your jelly bean! Does Michael want to find out? or are you both in agreement?

When our time comes, we want to find out... :)

Michael really wants to find out and I told him he could but just could not tell me or anyone that my slip and say something to me. So, he know he is horrible we secrets so he has decided to not find out either.
