1st OB visit

I had my 1st OB visit on the 19th. I went to ultrasound 1st. I got to really see you for the 1st time. You wiggled around a little bit. Your heart beat was 167 beats per minute and you are 1 1/2 inches long. You are so much bigger than you were just a few weeks ago. It was exciting seeing you look like a tiny human in their finally and not a grey flicker in the corner of a sac. They say you are growing perfect. I still can't decide if you are a boy or a girl. When I had Ava I was sure the triplets were going to be all girls. So, when they all turned out to be boys now I find myself being sure you are a boy. Ava still insist you are a girl and that your name is Nora this week.

I go back to the doctor in a month, but no ultrasound. I have a glucose test on Tuesday since I had gestational diabetes with the triplets.

Nothing else is really going on. Mommy still has a lot of aches and pains from you growing, but they are better than they were. There is a lot of suspicious people asking if you are in my belly. You would think people would not be so in tuned with another person cycle. My friend Christine (I'm not sure if I mentioned she lives with us right now) keeps telling me how I have not had a period this month and hears me vomit. She keeps asking how far along I am...but I am not ready to spill the beans. Your grandma all the way in Alabama keep asking about you to. I have told them nothing...I have a feeling your Aunt Fiki has secretly spilled the beans.

People I have told:
In the order I told them: Your dad, Ava, Jill Commander, Tanya Gomez, Kristina Croft, then Ava told Aunt Fiki...who then told Aunt Tabetha, Israel, and I'm sure Aunt Brandy. Then I told my friend Karen and that is it...people who think they know is Christine, Grandma Beth, and Aunt Sarah.
