I had my first OB appointment today, and I am so happy about it!! I finally got my screening results back and the chances of trisomy and downs are 1:1900! I laughed so much when they measured my fundal height, I knew I was big but here I am at 16w4d, measuring 22 weeks!  They kept mentioning twins, and I kept telling them Ive had 4 ultrasounds, so unless one is REALLY good at hiding, theres only one! Ive lost 2lbs in 4 weeks, thank goodness cause I was concerned how quickly my weight was going up. My anatomy ultrasound was switched to the hospital instead of the clinic but its the same day so only 11 days til we find out the sex!! I cant wait! My blood pressure was raised in the office so he told me to get a monitor for home, and its normal here now, so maybe it was just some mistake in the office?
I think thats it, Im very relieved!

That is awesome news! Your blood pressure was probably a little high because you were nervous being at the doctors office or you were very excited to hear the downs chances are so slim.
I totally wouldn't worry about your weight gain. I gained 70+ lbs with all my pregnancies and lost the weight eventually. Are you thinking pink or blue?
Super happy for you Tobi!

LOL Missy! Why do you think that? (Actually, how did you know  ) Its so funny, cause I think deep down I really do want a girl, if I could wave a magic wand and have whichever one I chose, it probably would be a girl. (cuter clothes, imo  ) But I really will be happy either way. Especially knowing Derek would chose boy if he could, and this will be his only little one. Either way, I just cant wait to see him/her. My ultrasound cant get here soon enough!

Because we secretly talked about it a very long time ago  I hope you get your pink but I know you will be ecstatic with either.
