January Appointment

This month's appointment went very well (except for the part where I had to drink some gross orange crap, wait for an hour, and then get my finger pricked). The results from last months AFP test came back. Our baby does NOT have Down-syndrome! Yay!
Also on the good news list: I don't have diabetes! Yay again!
Baby Fuzzy's heartbeat was a strong 155. And Albert finally got to feel a good strong kick while we were waiting for our midwife. :)
We also had a good talk with our social worker about my maternity leave situation here at the Bank. Oh, did I not mention that I found out that I will not get paid leave unless I use vacation time, of which I only have 2 weeks maximum? There is just no way Albert and I can afford for me to not be paid for a month plus. So wonderful Norella is going to do some digging for us on the subject.
Our last appointment at M&I is in just 2 weeks, during which Baby Fuzzy will get her/his picture taken again. :) They are really checking to see how my placenta is doing-- whether it is moving up out of the way of the birth canal like it is supposed to. Keep your fingers crossed! If it doesn't move higher I will have to have a c-section.
Just after the shower (on the 16th to be precise), I have my first appointment at Lincoln Center. I am very pleased that I will have a lady doctor there also. :)
