I am 16 weeks today, and so far, so good. I had blood drawn earlier today for the maternal serum screen and also to check my platelets. When I went to my primary care doctor last year, she discovered that I had low platelets. I had three blood draws within a 3 month time span, and my platelets ranged fron 120 to 149. Normal starts at 150. Most people's platelet count is in the 200 to 300's. When I had my blood drawn at my first ob visit, my count was 156 (normal, but low-normal). So, I guess she wants to watch that.
I am feeling pretty good...just really tired in the late afternoon to early evening. I think work wipes me out. I joined the gym. It is so hard to get motivated to workout! It is so weird going to the gym and looking at everyone getting into shape! In my head, I am thinking here are these people working out to loose weight and/or tone up, and I am working out knowing that I will only be putting on weight over the next 5 months (for a good reason, obviously). I am trying to tone up my legs and butt, though.
I guess that is about it. Here are pics of me at 16 weeks (the quality sucks cuz I took them myself).....
Here is a pic of my sweet Milo. He went to doggy daycare today and is now knocked out. Doggy daycare is a great way to wear him out!
