painted_wolf is starting the second trimester. It's really rather confusing figuring out how far along we are because we know the date(s) of conception and counting from there she's at 12 weeks. Going by the ultrasound, she's supposedly at 13 weeks.
We had an appointment yesterday with the OB/GYN and we got to hear our baby's heart rate for the first time: 150 bpm, which is quite healthy. We also went to the lab to get all of the genetic testing done.
PW had some symptoms in the two or three days leading up to the visit that had us nervous, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. This can all be a bit scary at times not knowing entirely what to expect, but we're also learning that things happen and to consult the books we have and not get too worried unless certain really bad signs show up.
In the meantime, we've had lots of wonderful support from people around us, including receiving lots of baby clothes and supplies from people we know who are passing along their stuff that they don't need any longer. It's really great and we really appreciate it because we'll need all the help we can get as we get started on our family. Thank you all so much!
