I had a midwife appointment on Monday. I got to meet my midwife's partner. She is very nice and I am comfortable with either of them at this point so I guess that is a good thing. I finally gained a little weight - so my total weight gain so far is a half a pound. She did say she would like to see me gain a few pounds by my next appoitnment - I don't think that will be a problem :)
Everything else was good. We had a difficult time finding the heartbeat again - they think the placenta is partially in the front of my uterus, but probably wrapping around the side since I am feeling significant baby movements on one side and nothing on the other!
I declined all genetic testing. Our reasoning is that there is no history of genetic disorders in either family and I am only 31 so I guess my odds are about 1 in 500. If someone told me I had a 1 in 500 chance of winning a drawing I would assume that I wouldn't win. That being said we have scheduled a level II ultrasound for February 27th! I can't wait to see the little one!!!
Only other thing from the appointment is that she would like me to start seeing a chiropractor since I am having quite a bit of siatic back pain. I got a referral and just need to call and set up an appointment!

Andrea, keep me posted on the chiropractor appointment. I had really bad sciatic pain with Jackie and at 10 weeks it's already starting to flare up again. UGH! Tylenol does not help me at all.
Glad to hear you are comfortable with your midwives. Are you having a home birth, I may have missed that.
I still am shocked when I hear pregnant women not gaining weight. How is that possible! I threw up everything I ate and gained 60!
I declined al lthe testing too. I have known so many people who had false positives.
I have got to ask my doctor about a chiropractor. I have the sciatic nerve pain as well. Not to mention horrible lower back pain. Let me know if your visits help!
