graduated!

I've now officially graduated from the RE!  I have an appointment at the end of next week with a regular ob/gyn from here on out.

I also have to make an appointment with a genetic person, who I guess is the one who does the NT scan or whatever.

The heart rate was 144 bpm, which seems low to me, but the dr. wasn't concerned.  The CRL is 26.4mm, which their machine says is 9w5d, but it didn't look like he clicked all the way down to the bottom of the butt.  It is definitely looking more like a baby now!  We even saw it move/twitch a little bit.  The doctor thinks everything looks great.  

Here are the pics from today.

See what I mean about there being another mm or two below the bottom +?

and the glorious heartbeat!

Nausea and tiredness are definitely in full force.  I entered vomitville yesterday and today is not looking so great.  Fortunately, I don't have anything going on today, so I can just relax and get some sleep.

I always thought I would want to wait forever to tell people about my pregnancy, but now I want to tell people.  Well, some people.  I need to keep it off of facebook and away from work for a few more weeks.

    Woo-hoo for graduation!!! The heart rate sounds great...the old wives tale is that lower heart rates are boys and higher are girls. Guess we'll find out =)

    That's great news :-) And yes it definitely looks like a baby now! Not long and you'll be out of the 1T and can start telling people. Who are you going to tell first?

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
