I LOVE my doctor! And I LOVE my new clinic. I just can't say it enough. If any of you are with a ho-hum doctor switch if you can find a good recommendation. It's been so great for me.
Anywho, my appt. All is well. I didn't get an ultrasound but I did get a fetal heart tone check. I didn't get the rate but it sounded wonderful. And since I'm one of the preggos that subscribes to the "I'll take any non-invasive test I can get" philosophy I have an NT scan next week. Yay me! Another ultrasound. That's 4 total for this pregnancy. I'll practically have a flip book of this pregnancy's gestation!
The nurse did say I had slightly elevated white blood cell count but that that was normal. Oh, and I can stop progesterone, start having sex again, (can you hear DH sighing with relief?) and she wants me on a baby aspirin because of familial and personal blood history.
And I told work today after my appt. It went pretty well I think. There are tons of people in my office but I only told a total of 5 people. Everyone else can find out the hard way by trying to see if I'm just getting fat or PG. Or they can find out via word of mouth. To me it's a bit like screaming "Hey, I've had sex and now I have proof!" So I don't want to announce it in a big meeting or anything. They'll all find out soon enough.
The biggest shocker was when I told my manager that my DH will be a SAHD. His mouth literally dropped open. Well, truth be told DH might work part-time. We aren't sure yet, he kind of has to try out the SAHD job before jumping in with both feet you know. I'm confident he'll love it though.
So that's me! Hope to read about tons more healthy embryo/fetus appts soon.

Congrats Peggy!! And how cool that your DH can be a SAHD! My DH would love that, but since I'll be in school and he makes about 3 times as much me, that won't ever happen. :(
Hope your scan goes well next week!
See you in the 2nd Tri in no time,

oh, sweetie! i
My dh has been a SAHD for the past 2 years and it is really working out for us. Congrats on telling your job. I am still trying to figure out how to do that. I had a cvs yesterday at 12 weeks, 2 days. I was going to wait until the results come back. We haven't even told our families yet! Playing this one very close to the vest.

Wow Lois, you are the first person I've met whose DH is a SAHD. If you have any tips for me or DH that'd be great.
And we are due date buddies too. I'm due Dec 26th just a day after you.
Getting in here late to say.. fabulous news!!
