11 weeks almost....

Well, it seems I have neglected this blog yet again. All you readers need to get a facebook. I am more active there. LOL!.

I am now almost 11 weeks!! Really?? This thing is flying by. Good thing too, because we all know how much I really do not enjoy being pregnant. I really wish I could get a two-fer. Having twins would be so awesome. We did an ultrasound and they say there is only one peanut in there, but they have been wrong before on others. Wishful thinking.

They are treating me like I am super duper high risk, and that bothers me. I couldn't even get my old doctor to take me this time, because I have had 8 babies, my age, my child's genetic defect, and he didn't deliver my last baby. Goodness...there are mom's who don't even start to have babies until they are 35! What does age have to do with anything? And all my births have been uneventful, save for the last one, but that was her fault, not mine. Being special needs by means of a genetic problem that affects her brain made her not know how to swallow the amniotic fluid. So, it just built up and up...and the birth was awful because of that. NOT likely to happen again.

I had trace protein in my urine, so I immediatly had to do a 24 hour collection. My number was 113. Really normal. My A1C for diabetes was 5.1. Again, really low. My blood pressure was 120/70. Normal. The only thing bad about me is my weight, and that is not a real bad factor here. They ordered me to do a level 2 ultrasound, but thankfully the level 2 guy didn't think we needed it yet. I agreed wholeheartedly. This pregnancy is gonna be real fun, yall!

I am way to mouthy and opinionated for my own good tho, so I might not let it keep happening. I already refused the 3 hour glucose test before and got fired by my O.B. but woopie!!! I got the high risk dr to allow me to just say I had gestational diabetes and report my sugars. Didn't have to take the test. So there... :)
