Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

My appointment went very well on Tuesday -- while at my last visit, it took my doctor a while to find the heartbeat, but this time as soon as she put the Doppler to my belly, we heard it -- woosh, woosh, woosh. I love that sound so much and I wished she would have just held it there for the rest of the visit. Anyways, I'm measuring properly and she said everything seems hunky-dory. Brian seems to think there are two babies -- mostly it is wishful thinking and the fact that multiples run rampant on his side of the family (and I was in twin in the womb for a while). I asked her about multiples & she said that she wouldn't put it past me, given all of our circumstances, but we probably wouldn't know for a while, maybe another month or two (when we have our first ultrasound). My guess is just one little baby, and that's good enough for me!! (Oh, and it turns out that Katie & I are due the same week! Weird, huh!)
Yesterday Grandma, Mar, Mindy and I had tea in the solarium at the Manor House @ Wildwood Park and it was so nice. We had little sandwiches and decadent desserts and listened to the pianist. Unfortunately, this was the last tea until next Spring, but we have something to look forward to for next year.
I have totally blanked out on what else I was going to post, so I'll close for now.

On Tuesday, Mindy is going with me to my 14 week appointment. Things have been progressing very well -- I'm no longer experiencing any morning sickness and I've only been uncomfortable in the evenings. I'm surprised at how much I'm showing at this point; I know it's different for everyone, but I'm showing a lot more than I thought I would. After Tuesday, hopefully I'll have more to report on baby.
After a few months of going back & forth, Kayla's been enrolled in an online charter school. Since she's only in kindergarten, most of her work will be completed on paper and then her scores will be entered online. We had to compromise with children's services on this - they wanted her enrolled anywhere; just somewhere. Daycare 1 day a week would have been at least $100/wk and the local kindergarten is a full 5 day a week program --- waaaay too much for her (and me). I think it's a good compromise -- she will still be at home with me, the curriculum is very basic & I can supplement with anything I want, and it will help give me some schooling structure for this first year.
We've been working on a ton of projects at home and still have a list of 30 or so to go before the end of Fall. I want everything done by at least the first of December so I can relax the last few months of my pregnancy.
Anyway, more updates later -- hopefully soon I will get a belly shot up here :o)
Love to all.
