Mood: Sleepy
just started the twelfth week (the title is not totally accurate, it just sounded better)! i just got out of my ob appt with my new ob doc; i still feel i just had a better connection with her. she's younger and less experienced, but maybe that's what the connection was about (the younger part). all my tests were normal and she prescribed me a prenatal with omega-3 fatty acids from algae (not fish oil, at my request). i've gained two and a half pounds, and am now in the triple digits for weight! it was weird seeing that (no haters, please--i'm pregnant).
with a doppler, i heard pinto's heartbeat whooshing away at 160+ beats a minute, which is totally healthy for him/her right now, and i heard his little movements going on inside. it was so cute! supposedly, you don't usually get an ultrasound until about 18-20 weeks unless you're high risk, but as soon as rups gets back from d.c., i'm going to have him do another one at his hospital cuz i want to SEE pinto just like i heard him.
yesterday i came back from d.c. after a weekend trip to visit rups. i hadn't seen him in three weeks and had really missed him! pinto had, too. he needed to hear his daddy's voice. it was a great visit, but of course way too short. i won't see him now for another couple weeks because he has interviews in seattle and portland and i have a wedding in new york and some moonlighting shifts i'm doing. this summer is going to be so busy; pinto will have a good head start traveling, that's for sure. hmmm, i wonder at what age babies need passports. probably right away.
i think i'll probably start telling people at the end of the thirteenth week, so in about two more weeks. then i can send out this blog to my friends and family, too.
