17 weeks

How things have changed in four weeks. After my late March appt - I felt very disappointed. My doctor was not listening to my questions, was not on the same page as me, and very go with the flow when I felt like we needed to be more proactive. At long last I sought a second opinion and found a dr who is on the same page as me. He wants to make a plan based on info not gut feelings and hopes. I felt such a sense of relief after meeting with him. Along with the info though, comes apprehension. While we have no baseline blood work or urinalysis - we have started monitoring them both. My kidney function is really great - which is encouraging! However, there is some protein in my urine - 310mg per 24 hours to be exact. This is above the level considered to be significant proteinuria. But who knows - maybe I have always had some protein in my urine - we have nothing else to draw from to know. Anyhow, the anxiety associated with the info has been a little hard to manage. I am trying to do some deep breathing, realizing that I can only manage today and be as healthy as I can today.

Two weeks till we find out if it is a boy or girl - I am excited to know - and my instinct is girl - we shall see!
