Fall BACK

I never look forward to the time change.  Gets dark so early and is extremely depressing for me.  All is going well with the little one and me.  Last Wednesday I had my last appointment with my RE.  The hematoma was getting smaller and we had a heartbeat of 139!!  They handed me a goody bag of cool stuff from free belly bands to a cute onsie that said "Made in Charlotte".  I really wasn't expecting to get the brush off so quickly but I suppose it was time.

My last shot of PIO is tomorrow and that will truly be a day of celebration.  After 6 weeks my butt is sore and wants its life back.  My first OB appointment is November 9th and I am very excited to go to this appointment.  In a way it is the true beginning of real life normal appointments like most pregnant women have.  He has been with me now for 19 years. We are like old pals.  Just glad he hasn't retired before I finally get to use his OB skills.

We traveled out of town last weekend to be able to share our news in person.  Some took it with "shock and awe" and others jumped with joy.  It is fun to see peoples expressions.  I told my partner at the office and he literally went white and almost fainted.  He is like my brother and was extremely happy for me after the initial shock wore off.  I guess at the ripe old age of 45 people really just thought my time had passed.  Of interest you might want to know is that not one person questioned how this baby came to be conceived.  They either did not ask or just assumed it was the old fashioned way.

So much to think about that I really can't seem to think about anything.  Would really just like to be in Little Cayman and 100 feet under.  Don't know if I mentioned it before, I am a Master Diver and I am very passionate about it.  Diving is not something on the list for a woman with a little one in her belly.  It has beeb done  but we really don't know the risks and i am not going to find out.
