12 weeks, 2 days

Again, I'm very thankful to have gotten this far in my pregnancy.
I feel pretty good. Besides wishing I could detach my bbs and hang them up whenever they get too heavy or hurt too much, my symptoms have become pretty mild. I just had an appt with my midwife the other day..and here's a funny story:

She came and did a vaginal culture to see what's going on, and if I have a yeast infection. After she finished, we walked back to the livingroom, and she asked if I had any ice so she can put some in the biohazard bags to keep the cultures cold until she got to the lab. I didn't have any, so her and I were rummaging through the freezer looking for something we can use. I was hoping to find an icepack..but nothing. Finally, I asked her if she could use this, and held up an individually packaged garden burger. We both were hysterically laughing, and she put it in there. I hope she dropped it off that way. They probably gave her the funniest looks.

She did a heartbeat check to see if we could finally hear. There was lots of movement and we would get like 5 seconds of a heartbeat before the baby would move away from the doppler. My uterus felt like a 12 week uterus, and all seems well. I'm just really really nervous to get my culture, and my bloodwork and urine back. Idk why. I just don't want to find any surprises. I'm hoping everything is good and I'm healthy.

  1. That's hilarious. I'm assuming the garden burgers are now off the menu:)
    I'm really hoping we'll catch a heartbeat at my 12 week appt.
