Today is 11 weeks, I sure do love palindromes so I'm excited least of all because we are a week away from the magical 12 week mark. It will be slightly less *magical* as we aren't getting those stressful nuchal tests out of the way until we are back in Boston, around 13 weeks, but progress is progress.
W continues to feel so-so, some days are fine, verging on good, others are entertaining with low-grade nausea coupled with weird food aversions - who gets sick from the thought of peanut butter? Other than a near miss as we were cruising down 101 on Sunday, she has yet to puke, which makes her total pregnancy yuckiness about 101 times less dramatic than mine. My read is that we are having a boy, but my intuition has been 100 percent wrong recently and you remember my suspicions for Izzy so, who knows.
The answer?
We will -- hopefully in a week or two!We finally got all the paperwork sorted out for the maternal-blood-thingy so we have those resultshanging over our heads to look forward to. We had almost all but decided to wait to get home for all that trisomy testing but our neuroses got the better of us, so we did it -- and are now *hoping* W's insurance doesn't notice the blood was drawn in CA versus MA.
In other news re our obsessive nature, we got a doppler. Yes, judge if you will. One of our best friends lost a baby at 39 weeks so we are a bit paranoid. I have to admit my favorite time of day is when we crawl into bed and listen to the reassuring glug-glug-glug of the baby's heart beat. Our midwife once equated the sound to galloping horses and that's the image that always comes to mind as we lay quietly and listen.
