I had a Dr. appt. today, and we got to hear the heartbeat!!! It was really neat- she found it almost immediately and I was amazed at how well you could hear it- the little bean is only about 4 inches long, after all! The rate was around 150 bpm, which is good. That was basically the entire appointment, then I had blood drawn for the quad screen, which is weird to me, because all it tells you is the odds of having a chromosome issue- I guess it can help ease fears, but it can also make them worse if the result comes back that the odds are worse. Nothing definite, which really, nothing is until the kid is born.
I have my big ultrasound appointment in 4 weeks- Sept. 5th. I am VERY excited and can't wait to find out the sex- I sure hope kiddo is in the right position- that would be agony if not!
I haven't gained any weight. I am back up to my starting weight after losing several pounds. My belly is expanding and STILL invading my bladder's space, but no weight gain, which I guess is good.
It is hotter than HELL here this week- it was 103 today with a heat index of 114- and the humidity didn't even get over 40%- I guess it could be worse. Carpool has been horrible, and the people I work with are making me stay inside, which makes me feel worse for them, 'cause I can take the heat if I have to, but they won't let me. We can't take the kids out to recess so they are off the wall. I have NEVER looked more forward to fall than I do this year. I keep having these thoughts of crisp air, changing leaves, breezes coming through open windows, wearing long sleeves, the state fair (mmmmm... fair food....) and they are like mirages- I SO long for those things right now- maybe hormones acting up? I hope we have a long fall and mild winter. I'm afraid we'll be bringing the baby home from the hospital in an ice storm or something! I was brought home during an ice storm in 1978 and the power was out, so they used hot Coke bottles in my bassinet to keep me warm. I'd probably use warm kitties to keep the baby warm!=)
I had a whole rant about baby stuff written, then the internetz messed up and it got erased, so I'll save it for another post. At least the cable guy came and fixed the modem...
