So everything looks perfect, beautiful. The baby was sleeping, heartbeat was 155. He/she woke up and was doing all kinds of water acrobatics. It made all the wait worthwhile. I'm feeling better, less nauseous, less fatigued (overall). I'm coping with the weight gain and felt better to not look at the scale. Unless there is a problem, I don't need to know. I know I'm gaining weight and I have to, but I don't need a number in my head. As long as I know baby and I are healthy, I'm fine. It was such a relief to see (and hear from my OB) that everything is normal, healthy. The exam done by a male doctor wasn't as anxiety-provoking as I'd envisioned. It was not really that bad. My group consists of 3 males and 2 females, so I don't know who will deliver Baby Espo, but I will have met with everyone in the group. I like that. Everyone was very friendly. It was a nice visit. We go back on 3/30 for another ultrasound. I guess that's the perk of being high-risk - many chances to see the baby! I will feel even more relief when the first trimester ends. I'm further along than the last ultrasounded dated me; I'm at 12 weeks, 4 days today. So I don't have that much more this trimester. Phew!! Still in regular clothes, with tight waists and occasional first button undone.
