I am too emotionally and physically exhausted to write a detailed blog post of my maternal fetal medicine appointment today, so I’ll save it for tomorrow.  I wasn’t able to get all the testing I wanted, so I’ll need to wait for some blood work and schedule another appointment.  Basically, I don’t know much more now than I did before the appointment.  Frustrating, to say the least.

I did get another ultrasound (the NT scan) and got to marvel at how much the baby has developed in just a couple of weeks.  He or she was wriggling around in there like crazy (and being rebellious about moving into the right position for the test).  It was great to see-- and to hear the heart beating at 146 beats per minute.  As I said when I first saw it-- I guess I really am pregnant.  One of these days, the reality might sink in.

I’ll post all of the pictures later, but this one is my favorite.
