Bummer Day
Wednesday, May 28th, 2003Today was not all it was cracked up to be. Unfortunately, the ultrasound technician said that 17 weeks was too early to tell the gender and that the doctor shouldn’t have told us to get an appointment this early. Naturally, the doctor said that she had never complained about 17 weekers before. We got some [...]
Big Days
Tuesday, May 27th, 2003Today is week 17, for those of you keeping track. For the very close readers of this blog, you may already know what tomorrow is. For the rest of you, tomorrow is the Big Ultrasound. The one where things get videotaped and gender gets determined. We will also—hopefully—get the results of the bloodletting Sandi went [...]
In Portland, there’s no one’s belly to rub.
Thursday, May 22nd, 2003I’m in Portland this week for some training and I’m really missing Sandi a lot. I miss my several-times daily routine of rubbing her swelling belly and listening to the heartbeat (well, that’s mostly a daily routine…we’re not nuts after all! Shush, those who know us). Luckily, I’ll be able to get my fix this [...]
Every Heartbeat…
Wednesday, May 14th, 2003As Sandi mentioned, I was very excited to hear the heartbeat. It’s a very reassuring sound—I’m always worried that one day I won’t get to hear it any more. I’m sure that that trepidation will subside eventually, but it’s one chink in my armor of optimism. On the other hand, every time I hear the [...]
New Blood Girl
Wednesday, May 14th, 2003Today I had the full blood workup for my pregnancy. Yikes! I am not a big fan of getting my blood drawn and then add in having to break in a new girl. Like I said Yikes! Deborah, the new girl, was very pleasant and nice but she didn’t listen to me when I told [...]
15 weeks today!
Tuesday, May 13th, 2003Our doctors visit was very routine. I think Bill is so used to our super sensitive and invasive visits. The doctor was in a rush but he answered all of our questions. Of course our doctor understands how worried and upset we get. We have never made it this far and it is very exciting. [...]
Better Late than Never
Tuesday, May 13th, 2003Okay, we had our fourth doctor visit on May 7th and I didn’t quite meet my self-imposed deadline to post the results. That’s mainly because there wasn’t much to report. Sandi peed in a cup and we made future appointments. Our great doctor was a little harried because he got called in for an emergency [...]
Tomorrow is 14 weeks!
Monday, May 5th, 2003Tomorrow is the fourteen week mark and I am brimming with anticipation for our fourth doctor visit on Wednesday. We’ll have more ultrasounds and news. Of course, you can read about it all right here—possibly Wednesday but more likely Thursday.
