40% there...

40% down, 60% to go...yes, this is in regards to the pregnancy. Not that I am trying to rush things at all... but really it is more like 43% down, 57% to go since I'll be delivering early due to my random health issues. No worries, I have a GREAT doc and one healthy kid to show for it so far.

My first bile test ... the one looking for the bad liver problem ... came back completely normal. YAY!!! So far, so good. Nevermind that Cholestasis doesn't usually pop up until late 2nd trimester. I am early 2nd trimester. 16 weeks today to be exact about it. I am being tested every 4 weeks until I pop, or more accurately am popped (scheduled c-section and all due to 1 previous surgery for routine stuff & 1 previous c-section). I have to say I am a big big fan of the nice clean incision. Before baby #1 I was all about the natural way, but after being in labor 14 hours ... 12.5 unmedicated ... and STILL not having any success, my opinion has changed. Back to the liver thing. Depending on what you read my chance of NOT having it again is anywhere from 10%-40%. Those aren't bad odd depending on which end of the spectrum you believe. Fingers crossed everyone!

The girl has decided that the baby is going to "fall out of my tummy" when it gets too big to fit in there anymore.
