Neato

A couple of things, actually from today and yesterday (besides the excitement over the first appointment and the ultrasound next week):
I found something in an old journal which made me laugh out loud. If the baby does come around it's due date, specifically if it is born on May 29th...it will be born exactly 20 years after I graduated from high school. (in case you didn't know it before now...37 is a bit older) I thought that was neat though.
The other thing is that we got accepted for the birthweight study. We are both super excited about that! (come on, we get a free 3D ultra sound picture of the Bean!!!!)
We discussed genetic testing yesterday with the nurse midwife, and will need to do more research. Our only concern is there are some chromosomal disorders which are "not compatible with life" meaning the baby will definitely be stillborn...or will not live past birth if they are a live birth... that is a discussion for another day though...today we will focus on excitement and cool things.
Today marks the entrance into week 9 (probably)~ cue Pomp and Circumstance, Bean has graduated from embryo to fetus! (they grow up so fast, sniff, sniff) And while it will be about 2 months before I can feel it, the Bean is moving around (just as fidgety as daddy already, I am sure...we are bound to have a wiggler).
Mood swings have been pretty bad this past week. (No Danielle, I am not going back on the antidepressants) Which according to all the literature is perfectly normal, my hormones are going through a major surge right now putting the finishing touches on the placenta etc. (who knew I was being so productive while the dishes are currently piling up again in my sink...ugh)
Well, I think that is all for today folks.
Ciao for now~
