Update after the doctors appointment...

Had another check up today, lost another 2 pounds but Emery seems happy where he is.  Heart beat is still strong and I am the correct size.  She says the fact I have been sick a lot lately is most likely due to my stomach running out of room.  Tomorrow I will be 28 weeks pregnant and that means that my son is about 2.4 pounds, according to the average.  Funny I feel so small to be THIS pregnant.  I also talked to the doctor about the possibility of doing a genetic test.  I found out that there is a mutation with a certain gene that can cause anecenephaly, and precclampsia and a million other things.  I have also read about a lot of these women who have it having had molar pregnancies too.  Since I have had a complication with every pregnancy I asked if I could get tested.  She told me after Emery is born they can send me to a specialist and see if anything is wrong.  I am so glad they are willing to do that so that I dont keep trying to have kids ending in such difficult pregnancies.  Fingers crossed everything is ok, or at least there is a way to fix it if it isn't.  But I am glad I will get to know.  84 days until my due date.
