Just another update:

Our MC seems to think we're doing well enough to cut back to only coming every other week.

I guess I would agree. I don't think our ICs have any plans of either of us cutting back anytime soon.

I'm 15 weeks along today. This is the point where H started to lose his mind last time. So I'm a little on edge, but he's been really awesome (I even gave him a honey-do list yesterday while I did some pampering for myself and he did everything without any additional reminders!!).

D has been with my parents this weekend so we got a date night on Friday and we had a friend's wedding to attend yesterday. Weddings are still hard for me, but luckily at this one, it was really just the reception (the couple got married in Aruba a few weeks ago). So I didn't have to listen to the vows, which is what usually sets me off. But we had a good time both Friday and Saturday.

We'll know the gender of the baby in a few weeks. At the neural tube screening that they did a few weeks ago, the sonogram tech said it looked like it might be a boy, but from my understanding, that early in the game, it's only around 70% correct, so we'll just wait until the official one.

I'd prefer to have another girl for a few reasons. Mainly it'll be easier to reuse things from D. And I know I've really enjoyed having a sister (and while I enjoyed my stepbrother growing up, he's a drug addict and I've not really spoken to him in almost 2 years). Boys in general worry me. Statistically, the odds are not in their favor for major psychological illnesses (primarily autism, ADHD, and drug use).

Probably also doesn't help that every major male figure in my life has f@cked me over pretty hard at one point or another.

We'll just see what this next scan says....


I have the patience of Job.
