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!!!
