18 Week (late) Update: More Movement, Bassett Appointment& Ultrasound Date Set!


I am not on track this week, and finally pushed myself to jot down a few things, but not even sure if I will finish today to post this, so it might even more late than it already is.

This week for me (not last week, but the current one) has not been a good one at all, but I will save all that for my 19 week update in my next post. As much as my 18th week HAS been positive from what I remember it being, and I am NOT positive at all right now, I will try to keep this post accurately positive as the week was itself.

Last week there weren’t any drastic changes really that occurred. I mentioned last time that I thought I felt the baby move, I can freely say my “ thoughts” were definitely accurate as proved by this past week. I’ve felt baby move more often and stronger. This happened almost every other day, I believe. This always makes me happy and super smiley. Nothing too crazy to the point where you can see it or feel it if you put your hand on my belly, but I can DEFINITELY feel baby moving, and can distinctly tell it is not  gas or anything of the sorts.
I also had my first Bassett appointment last week. It went relatively well, no mistakes… yet :) I vented to the doctor I had about my previous doctors so now they have to have higher standards for me (which was Dr. Chanana for anyone reading this and familiar with Cooperstown and its doctor’s.) She was an Indian lady. Someone told me she was “weird and quick” so I had my guard up for her. She was ok, but then again this was my first appointment and I came in with a lot of medical history and issues that needed to be evaluated, so maybe even if you tried you couldn’t really be “weird” or “quick” ;-) 

I obviously did NOT have an ultrasound, boo-hoo! I was really hoping I would, but on the bright side the ultrasound has been set! I will have my anatomy scan on February 6th, which is two weeks from today. That day can’t come soon enough! As you all know, I am way too impatient and have wanted to know since the day I became pregnant! Baby better cooperate and have his or her legs open, because I don’t know what I will do if I walk out the doctor’s office on February 6th without knowing the gender!!! LOL!

That is pretty much it for week 18. I am keeping it short and sweet… or just boring. Or since I am late in writing this I already forgot most of the stuff that happened last week, oh well. In my next post you will understand and know why I am just being blah and not my typical jittery, happy self (although I am putting an effort to perceive so in writing!)

Not sure if I will post a belly shot for this week, I am just not feeling up for it, and since tomorrow is Thursday the week is almost over and it will kind of be in the middle of the 18th and 19th week, so I might as well skip a week!

Thank you for anyone who reads, and hopefully in my next post I will be back to my old self and although I will have a lot to say that isn’t positive exactly, I will have more stories to share than today!

PS: I did finish the post today ( in regards to one my first sentences, so it won’t be “as” late ;-))
