So, today I went to my first appt with Dr. Schwartz.

I was really hoping that I would be able to get an ultrasound... but.. it didn't quite work out that way.

He happened to have a patient who was delivering her baby RIGHT at my appointment time.

I guess that's a fair excuse. haha.

Anyway, it was about 5:30 by the time i saw him (my appt was at 3!) so we just didn't have the time to do an ultrasound. His main concern was that my uterus is much smaller than what it should be at 17 weeks.  Which could mean I am off by my dates or something isn't right with the baby (or a million other options, I suppose).  He took some bloodwork for a test that checks for cystic fibrosis. He chose this one because he said it usually comes out abnormal when your off with the dates.

If it comes out abnormal, then he will have me come in next week for an ultrasound. If it comes out normal, then 4 more weeks until we can see how everything is progressing in there (and find out the sex of the baby).

He was happy with the blood sugars and all that was good. I have to call in with my numbers for the next week and do a fasting blood glucose test.

All in all, I really liked him. He was attentive and receptive to my crazy rebellious choices... haha...
