An Energy Uplift

I'm officially 18w1d pregnant now, and I've noticed a lift in my energy level. I still get some nausea attacks now and then, but overall, I feel much closer to normal than I have since this whole thing started!

We had another Dr's visit last Wednesday, and this time, the baby was much more cooperative. We were able to hear the heartbeat loud and clear! The baby still was moving around quite a bit, so that was fun to hear too. They also drew my blood to check my protein levels, which is the follow-up to the test we did at 13 weeks to ensure the baby is developing normally. I got a call on Friday, and they told me everything's A-OK!

Mark your calendars! On Friday, November 30, we're going in for the full anatomical sonogram. This means that it's the major sono where they'll be checking that the heart, spine and brain are developing normally... and... the sex of the baby! That's right, we'll be able to report whether we're having a boy or a girl on that date! We're pretty excited. :-)

We're trying to purchase a camcorder by then so that we can film the whole sonogram to post for you. If we can't do that, at least we'll have the pictures.

So until next time, have a Happy Thanksgiving!
