17 Weeks

So I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and things are going well. I'm officially in maternity clothes now and I've gained a total of  7 lbs so far. I went for my regular check up last week and the doctor shined some more light on the cyst. She said that she really feels like this cyst will not cause a problem. She said the cord is very vascular and tough and it would take a lot for a squishy cyst to cause a problem. Even so they are going to continue to monitor me closely and be very aggressive if it does cause any issues. She sent me for the second set of genetic blood work even though our numbers came back great, 1:2800 for Down Syndrome and 1:10,000 for trisomy. We opted not to do the blood work with Bruce but since it also checks the function of the placenta, she thought it would be a good idea to have it done. Yesterday was a holiday so I probably won't have the results back until Monday. Monday is also my repeat ultrasound so I'm anxious to get the cyst checked out and to hopefully confirm we are having a little girl.
