Holy Cow, 14 weeks already!!!

This has been a good week so far. G and I had a terrific weekend! I had family in from California so we went and visited with everyone. I had my second appointment on Monday and got to listen to Crash's heartbeat (at 150 bpm). My OB also talked to me about the first trimester testing. I opted against it at my first appointment because even if I find out that there is some sort of disorder or irregularity, it wouldn't change anything about my pregnancy, it would just cause worry. She told me that they do the screenings not only to find out, but because some of the diagnoses can be corrected if caught early enough (such as Spina Bifida). She scheduled me for my next appointment in 3 weeks so that I'd still have time to do a Quad test if I so choose, but I'm still opting out. If they do happen to find anything irregular, then I'd still be sent for an amnio, and that is a risk i'm just not willing to take.
I'm so excited to find out what we're having! My next appointment is in 3 weeks and hopefully, they schedule my ultrasound since I'll be 17 weeks by then. G and I have done all of the old wives tales just for fun. We did about 10 of them and I believe 8, or so, said girl, haha. Anyway, I hope you're all having a wonderful week and things are only getting better for you!
