Midwife Appt.

I had my second midwife appt yesterday. They had the results of my blood work, and it turns out I am pregnant for sure. No turning back now. I find I like their scale better because it says I'm 6 lbs lighter than my home scale. Sweet! And I got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time - it was fast for those who are wondering - 170 bpm. Jericho's was always around 140 or so.

The only thing that came up that was a little negative was that I have to go back for more bloodwork. I don't know if i mentioned it or not, but last time I went I almost fainted. I got so woozy and the room spun and I had to lay down and drink juice. I'm not looking forward to going back, but the lab technicians seem to think I have a risk of having this weird disease called something like Thallanemia or something like that. It basically is something people have from birth and their red blood cells are really small. My midwife doesn't think I have it, or else it would have shown up when I was pregnant with J-Rock. So she wants me to go in for the Ferritin test to see if I have low iron. Which might explain the little red blood cells. Otherwise, I'm doing well and she's really proud of my no-weight gain. I think by this time with J I had gained like 5 lbs. It was all that ice cream.

Speaking of ice cream, it was so hot on our walk to the midwife that we stopped at Marina's for some gelato on the way home. It was just me and the baby so I got a double cone... kinda like a celebratory YAYAY for hearing the baby and stuff... I noticed they had baby cones for free so I got Jericho his first one. He loved it and cried when it was gone - which was quickly.

Anyways, back to the grind!!!
