Dr. Blair is really nice; Reni was right. He came in wearing a green tie with a cartoon character on it. The appointment was inconclusive. I took the entire afternoon off. We hung out at Jim & Joy’s. Brett worked on his truck (he broke a tie rod end yesterday) and I hung out in […]

I have tubercles! (Montgomery’s tubercles. They’re sweat glands. Brett looked it up this morning.) They’re weird little bumps on my boobs. I’m so knocked up! Eek! I’m happy, though. Brett’s gloating in an I-told-you-so kind of way. He hasn’t doubted it for a moment. Since I have a doctor’s appointment today, and they’ll probably be […]

“6 wks from Last Menstrual Period – Length of embryo measures 4 mm.” Here’s my weekend. I went home at lunch on Friday because I couldn’t deal with work. I was still bleeding lightly, and was crazy emotionally. (By crazy, I most definitely wasn’t feeling like me.) My appetite had become moderate; I had no […]

“A first trimester ultrasound is considered an essential part of pregnancy care.” So yesterday was WEIRD. Brett called me at a bit before noon ask me to meet him at Jim & Joy’s. I’d been a little insane in the morning, in the sense of my ‘no no no no’ fit when Gerri came in […]

However, about 20 percent of women have vaginal bleeding during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and less than half of them miscarry.”t Oh, let’s hope I’m in the right percentage. I started spotting yesterday before I left work. It continued, lightly, […]

“During the third embryonal week, it’s not unusual to experience spotting, or light vaginal bleeding.” Well, that’s good to know. I spotted one spot last night. I laid there in my bed reading, certain that my period was about to start. Then I realized, “This doesn’t feel like my period about to start at all. […]

“The embryonic heart begins beating, though it can’t yet be seen on ultrasound.” Holy shit! It has a HEART BEAT ALREADY? Today I started surfing Amazon.com for baby books. They preview the first 42 pages of many of their books, so I can just look right in there and read the intros. Most of the […]

“Five weeks menstrual age (3 weeks after fertilization), the embryonic period begins.” There’s a pregnancy calendar at Yahoo.com. The thing will be 7mm long by next Thursday! My due date is sometime during the first week of December, although I guess first babies are always late. I suspected Saturday that I might be pregnant. Sunday, […]
