I went the the OB on Tuesday for my just about 16 week appointment. Everything is looking good. My blood pressure is 116/65 and I've gained about 3 pounds. Baby's heartbeat is nice and steady. I've been getting headaches about daily, which seem to go away if I drink an ungodly amount of water, so it looks like I'm dehydrated a lot. I've been ok'd for aspirin and caffeine as well if the water doesn't work. I go back in 4 weeks on our 3 year wedding anniversary.
On Wednesday I got my blood work done for the quad screen. I also had to get a bunch of other tests they missed last time. For some reason they checked my cholesterol but not my hcg levels. It took 2 tries to find a vein. For some reason no one likes to try the top of my hand first. I try to tell them, but what do I know. It's only my body.
I also got my prescription for my anatomy ultrasound, otherwise known as the gender ultrasound. I've got a while to wait before I can go though as I'm 16 weeks and the OB wants me to be 19 or 20 weeks.
