Catching up quickly. Nearly two weeks ago, at 6 weeks and 6 days, I went up to Rochester for my confirmation ultrasound. Everything looked great! A baby, measuring spot-on, in an appropriate place in my uterus, with a heartbeat of 130. Doesn't look like much yet: That was my very last Mayo appointment for this pregnancy. I am now officially released to my local doctors. Crazy. Still on my estrogen/progesterone supplements through 12 weeks, but otherwise we get to transition to "normal pregnancy" status. I had my initial appointment with the OB nurse coordinator last week, which was basically my "orientation to pregnancy" meeting, exactly like last time. Then labs (uck). And now, waiting until my first appointment with Dr. Locke next week. Right now, according to dates, it looks like my due date is December 30 (totally inconvenient), made yet more inconvenient by the fact that it will be a schedule c-section....likely on December 24 or 26. Oops. A Christma
