8 Weeks 6 Days

My lab results look good. I am RH negative (which I already knew) and I am a group B streptococcus carrier. My glucose level at this point was normal, so that is good. I decided to go through with the new 1st trimester screening tests. I have the finger prick on May 6th and the ultrasound on May 14th. They are more accurate at predicting abnormalities than the quad screen, so I thought it just made sense. My first appt with my OB is on May 23rd. Lots of stuff that month.

Three more weeks until the higher threat of miscarriage is over. That will be a great feeling. I have been doing well. Still very tired and already showing. Looks like my belly is going to be huge again.

We are talking some about names - nothing picked out yet. It's hard to find something I like that isn't too popular. I check names against the SSA Website to see how common they are in the US. What a great tool!

I have also been struggling with my REs office and my insurance company. My first two visits down there were initially denied so it has taken a lot of phone calls to try and straighten things out. I think finally today we have it fixed, but I thought that before, so I'll believe it when I get a statement saying the bill has been paid!

Hopefully the next week and a half until my next appt is uneventful. So far so good.
