Yes I'm finally on my 16th week. I feel much better than any other time of my pregnancy. I still go to the endocrinologist for possible hyperthyroidism. I had my lab test result last Wednesday and the Endo said it was good news. Some little abnormalities of the thyroid hormones but nothing serious that I would need treatment. She gave me beta-blocker medicine for my fast and skipped heartbeat. It's a little bit slower now but I still feel the skipped beats so she told me to repeat the lab test just to make sure. They need to calm down my heart because of the fast heartbeat, I burning calories faster than usual and because of that I'm not gaining enough weight. It's fine if I'm not pregnant since I'm pregnant I can't possibly be losing weight instead of gaining it. I'm still 114lbs. I only gained 2 lbs in the whole course of my pregnancy. My tummy is getting bigger but I'm not gaining weight. I eat every couple of hours so I know it's not because I'm not eating enough. I can't eat too much also because I'm prone to gestational diabetes. I will be making an appointment to see a cardiologist also to make sure that I'm not having a serious heart problem. My doctors doubt it but I want to make sure. I go to the hospital to get my blood test taken at least once a week. I joke around that I need blood transfusion because of all the blood they took from me lol. I have my OB appt by the end of the month maybe by then I can go have my ultrasound to find out if the baby's okey and of course the gender. I'm thinking it's going to be another girl hahaha I don't know I just have the feeling that it's a girl again. Like I said maybe times I don't really mind if it's a girl again as long as the baby is healthy and besides girls are just alot of fun. But of course I know that Rico really wants a boy so I pray that he gets a boy.
Speaking of Rico, he calls every week or so or when he misses his kids hehehe. I know how much he loves the girls even though they fought all the time when he was here. He'll be in persian gulf soon, I think their first stop is Dubai I just don't know when. Jewelle misses her dad more than Jelynn maybe because she was closer to Rico than Jelynn was. She would often say she wants to go back to San Diego because her daddy is there. She would even wake up at the middle of the night crying and telling me she wants to go to San Diego. I feel bad but there's really nothing I can do. She just have to wait 5 more months because she sees her daddy again. All we could do is for Rico to call often so that they don't miss him as much.
Anywhoo, that's all right now maybe next time I have a little bit more to share.Thank you always for dropping by and leaving me wonderful comments. You just don't know how you make me feel better and for that I will be forever grateful. Thanks!
