We're having a baby!
I thought I would wait until Christmas Day or at least Christmas Eve to take the pregnancy test, but I just couldn't stand it anymore! My tentative due date is August 26th, but it doesn't really mean anything until I see the doctor in January.
I'll have an initial visit with my usual OB/GYN, and then I'll be transferred to Dr. Mastrobattista, my perinatologist (that's code for "specialist"). She will take over my prenatal care, and I'll probably see her at least every two weeks. I'm already on blood pressure medications that are safe during pregnancy, so there shouldn't be any need for me to adjust to new meds, at least for a little while. I had lots of labwork done before I became pregnant, so the doctors will have it to compare to if I begin to devolop preeclampsia. Same goes for the EKG, Echocardiogram, and Renal Ultrasound that I've already had - they're ready for comparison if things change during my pregnancy.
We're doing everything we can to keep me healthy so this little baby can grow... Please pray for a safe, healthy, and LONG pregnancy!
