The latest on this last Doc visit and what is up in this pregnancy

Today I am 15 weeks! YAY We are making it slowly and surely. I am late getting this last Doc report out, so sorry. This last Thurs was another Doc apt for us. This was a check up from the surgery and a reg Doc visit to see how I am doing etc etc.
Doc B let us know that when she went in to put the cercladge in I was already dilated to 1 (she could stick her pinky in my cervix) so it was a really good thing we had it put in at 12 weeks because I could of gotten a serious infection and already lost the baby. Thank God for a Doc who is on top of what needs to be done. She checked to make sure the stitch was ok and boy! Did I find out exactly what was giving me so much pain here lately!
We talked about the pains I’ve been having and she said when I got the cercladge with Donavan my uterus was a lot larger (18weeks versus 12 weeks) so there was a lot less pains than this time. With my uterus being so much smaller when they put it in, every growth in my uterus will send pains, plus certain movements will cause pains also. And boy have I found this to be true!
This week or early next week I am having blood work done to screen for possible health problems in the baby. This is to find out if the baby has D.S. or C.F. The tests can be wrong but either way I had this done with Donavan also. I want to know in advance if something is wrong so that I can learn all there is about it, tho like anyone else, we pray for a healthy baby.
I will also be having my first Glucose Test done to see if I have Gest Diabetes. I’ve already tested neg early on, and if I test neg this time they will check again at 28 weeks. BLAH I hate doing this test.
We had yet another ultra sound done of the baby. This kid is looking just like its daddy already! HA If you didn’t see the you tube of the U/S please let me know and I will send it out again. We find out the baby’s gender on March 11th, I will be 20 weeks on that day so it will be totally accurate as to what the gender is. So I have a month to wonder HA. We are totally satisfied with our two girl name choices, but still going back and forth on a boy name. We find one we like and then I find something wrong with it! GRRR So if this is a boy we will need everyone’s help picking out a boy name that sounds good next to Donavan.
I’ve been having ppl ask how Donavan is doing with all of this. He is doing really good for what he can understand. Sometimes when I tell him he is going to be a big brother he gets really upset and other times he gets happy and kisses my belly and hugs it and says baby with a big smile, so we will see! HA Once the baby gets here and he see’s its his baby I know he will be happy as much as a 3 ½ yr old will be able to be knowing they won’t have all of mom and dad’s attention 24/7 HA
Ok that’s all for now. Love to all, thanks for your prayers on our behalf.
