Great news all around!
First of all, the doctor informed us of the results from my IPS... and we have 1 in 100 000 chance of having a baby with a chromosomal defect or neural tube defect. Those are the best odds you can get.
Then, the second greatest news was that I only gained 2lbs in the past month! YAY!!!
He measured my belly and we heard the heart beat again and he said everything was on course.
I had a few questions answered and we were out the door in 20 minutes!
About the belly belt... he said that the discomfort I'm feeling is due to my uterus growing and bouncing while running; it's not going to change wearing a belt. He said the belts are used generally in the third trimester when your lower abdominals are stretching and the belt can provide some relief from that sensation. I just have to change my cardio. Which is fine... the challenge is now starting after my three week hiatus. I miss it, but I also love laying down after work.
So, this week Baby Bawss took over again and I fell asleep within 15 minutes of getting home, and slept right through my personal training session and continued to sleep for another 2 hours. I slept from 3:45 to 7:00. Had a sandwich and talked to War a bit, and then back to bed at 9pm. The baby is supposed to be the size of a small melon this week, so I guess s/he was hard at work growing.
Now my vacation week begins, however it's not all vacation. Of course, I have a list of jobs I need to accomplish, plus I am starting to wallpaper the nursery closet. If anyone wants to join me, I'll be happy to have the help. Warren's in a hockey tournament this weekend, and Myles doesn't really help much. Just sleeps and occasionally asks for food.
On Friday of next week, we are going to The Soo and I'm excited to share my belly with everyone there. It is the only time we'll be in The Soo until after the baby is born.
As for other updates, most people at work predict we're having a boy. I still have no premonitions.
