Hearing the Swishy

Woke up early this morning to get to another appointment. We got to hear the swishy heartbeat and the doc said it was good (150 bpm).

I asked about soy protein (whey would be better, since soy manifests itself as estrogen and may increase headaches). I asked about massage and reflexology (it's ok so long as the therapist knows I'm pregnant). I also asked about screening for cervical incompetence (no such thing as screening - they'll look at my cervix in 4 weeks - but nothing much more can be done to prevent this. "Lightening does strike some people" he said.)

I go back in 4 weeks and will get a referral for The Ultrasound - the one where we find out the sex, the one where this Whosit is confirmed to be a Shesit.

Going swimming tonight with L. Going swimming again tomorrow with B. Need to get some quality cardio in somehow and it's too dang hot (already) to be outside. I hear the multi-gen center calling my name so I can go and do some yoga and pilates classes and use the treadmills for all the walking I hope to be doing in the coming months. That's the hope, that's the plan. We'll see. . .
