Well I went to the new ob/gyn last Friday, and met with a nursing student. Ugh. It's not like I'm not supportive of nursing students and the profession in general, what with the big nursing shortage. But I was looking forward to meeting with the physician's assistant at the very least, so I wouldn't be met with a blank stare to some of my questions (...Nuchal translucency screening? That must be really new - I've never heard of it!) So there we went, filling out paperwork, she gave me a printout of my pregnancy dates, and key dates that I would have certain tests done. Fine. But when we got to the questions stage, she really wasn't too helpful. So I left the appointment feeling a bit unsatisfied, and stopped at the lab to give many tubes of blood for the tests they needed to run.
The nursing student did make another appointment for me with the actual doctor, and I'll be seeing him this Friday. She thinks he may do another u/s since I got pregnant via DIUI. I hope so, it will be good to see Kiwi again just to make sure everything is ok. I asked her if I should wait for this appointment before announcing the news to my boss, etc., and she didn't think that was necessary. As long as I have seen the baby and heard the heartbeat in the past, that seemed to be the key. So I told my boss the news last week, and she was very excited, etc.
So I guess that news is better than nothing, huh?
In other PG-related news, I bought a pretty journal yesterday with a green cover with flowers and butterflies on it. This is going to be my journal to Kiwi during my pregnancy. I wrote in it today for the first time, and it was neat to be "talking" to her in this way, and connecting with her. I want to document what I went through, the thoughts that were swirling in my head, and other general stuff so I can give it to her when she is old enough to understand it all. I think it'll be pretty neat.
DH and I were in the mall yesterday, and I allowed myself to go into the P0ttery B@rn B@by store. It was very cool. Everything was so precious, and I got to check out some of the cribs I've been eyeing. The lady at the store was very sweet and helpful, and being surrounded by all the pastel blues and pinks...I felt like everything was going to be ok.
Better get back to work now - took a little break since it's been awhile since my last post. Hope everyone is well.

Thanks for your comment shop girl. I've been having difficulty wrapping my brain around the possibility of using donor sperm. My husband seems fine with it (this is the man that learned 3 years ago he was infertile and didn't want to do any infertity investigation). We went straight to adoption and now we're stepping back again, LOL. I probably will email you once we have our initial consultation w/the fertility clinic (it's in March). Thanks again!
A nursing student??? I would be pretty ticked. What's the point of going in to see a nursing student? I've never not seen a doctor when I go to the doctor's office!
P0ttery B@rn B@by does have some cute stuff - just make sure you check out what Baby Bargains has to say before you buy their furniture, I'm not sure they're very complimentary of the quality you get for the price you pay.
