Today we met with our new OB and we loved her! So, that is a relief! Basically I had my first full OB workup today which included urine tests, blood tests, a pap smear, and internal exam. Not really fun, but whatever. I got to ask a bunch of questions of Dr. A but I'm sure I'll have more later. Anyway, I'll go back in 2 weeks for a 16 week appointment where I think they take some more blood to check for some sort of spinal problems. Then, we'll go in for our 20 week appointment and have an ultrasound and find out if this little baby is a boy or a girl! I'm going to be really anxious to find out by then, because I've been holding out on buying things until I know what we're having! :)
I also got the call this morning with the results of our bloodwork that went with the first trimester screening. Everything looked great and our odds are 1 in > 10k for down syndrome and the trisomy. So, that's great news! They told me that the numbers for someone my age before the screening are 1 in 63 for downs and 1 in 1300 or so for trisomy. That downs number sounds really high, though! I'm glad I didn't know that before!
So, now I need to start thinking about daycare and eventually we need to interview pediatricians, but I guess that one can wait a little while. I'd like to make some decisions about daycare and at least be on some waiting lists by the end of January. We'll see how that goes!
