Thirteen weeks, 1 day

by Marilyn on September 29, 2003

Today was pretty good.? It started way too early though.? It’s darker in the morning now and it’s not helping me wake up.

I didn’t get much done this afternoon. Err, I mean this morning.? I did get a good shower.? I even “Magic”ed so I’d be ready for the appointment. :lol? Don’t wanna scare the doctor off. ;)

The appointment was at 11:00, so we left here shortly after 10:30 to pick K up from work.? We didn’t have to wait too long, which was nice.? The standard stuff; weight, blood pressure, and pee.? I’d lost 2 lbs from the last appointment which is really no surprise, considering I did the same thing with H.? My blood pressure was perfect which is a relief.? Don’t wanna start off on the wrong foot there.

I had to have the obligatory pap smear.? That was fun.? Just as with H, my cervix bled a little, but Dr. Brown wants to rule out infection.

She tried for the heartbeat o the doppler, but no go.? She thought it may have been due to my tilted uterus.? We did an ultrasound then and saw the placenta was on top too, which also muffles it.? But nice, healthy baby with waving arms.? What a joy to see that!

I also had blood drawn and they let me lay down for that.? That was great, I only ever felt the prick and no dizzyness.? Yay!

After, we had lunch at the DC store.? That worked out really well.? Now, I’m slowly (but surely) working on an update.? :lol? I’ll get it done eventually.
