Pregnancy update - ThinnerTimes

Hi Stapler Family,

For all who have been following my pregnancy progress or are just curious I wanted to post an update. I finally found a doctor out here in Illinois and I am very pleased to tell everyone he was a great doctor who seemed to really care about my health. He said my weight gain is good, I am measuring right on! Which was a relief.....He is the first doctor who really seemed to care about my health and he has recommended that I see another doctor along with him, he has moved my status to a high risk pregnancy due to my GBS and wants me to see a OB doctor who is certified in high risk so I will be scheduling that appt tomorrow, he is also going to be doing my ultrasound this week so hopefully I can find out what I am having, he is also going to monitor my kidney function, which was a relief as nobody has suggested that and I keep having kidney issues over and over. He also wants to see me every 2 weeks instead of the recommended once a month visit, even though I dread seeing a doctor that much I know it is best for my health and the babies. He also is going to redo all my labs and monitor my Folic Acid and B12 and maybe up my dosage. It really was a relief to find a doctor that cared for my health and give me so relief with this pregnancy! So as soon as I find out the sex of the baby I shall return for some help with names

I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how it was going. I'm glad you found a doctor you trust and like. It is so important, not that I have ever been pregnant, but I just love my PCP. She, like your doctor, will tell me when she thinks I should see another doctor. I think that is important, a doctor should care enough to say "Hey, this isn't my speciality and I think you should see this or that doctor as well as me".

I'm so happy to hear everything is going good. I'm going to skip all the messages about 'what' it is, though, I like the surprise at the end

Glad you are doing well and the little one too.

I like aggressive Dr.s...The ones who cover/rule out as much as possible.

Good for the both of you~

I am just wondering about something....does the doctors want you to gain the normal 35 or so pounds? How do you feel? Are you hungry all the time? How far along are you?

Good news! You've found a doctor who actually listens to you and cares! You sound like you're in good hands! Are you gonna tell us when you know what you're having? Hmmm?

Thank you all for following me through this amazing journey! Well the update is in. I had my ultrasound today and the TECH said it looked like my baby would be tall, she commented that the baby has very long legs and arms. And then came the big news.....The sex of the baby.......I wasn't partial to either a girl or a boy...........IT'S A BOY.............Then I thought shoot maybe I did want a girl but a boy is ok too....My son is very excited as he is the only boy in the house! So now we will be balanced out....2 girls and 2 boys....Pefect!

Well that is the update for now! Thanks again....Now it is time for names.....
