So here we are, at 13 weeks, in the 2nd trimester! The first part of the sequential screening went great, at least as far as the ultrasound is concerned. I have not heard back from the doctor's office on the bloodwork, but I figure no news is good news with them (although it won't stop me from calling next week if I still haven't heard anything).
Mark has started writing a letter to our little peanut, to be opened when she/he turns a certain age. The cutest thing about it is that he doesn't want me to read it either, he wants it to be a special moment for all of us when he/she opens it. Very cute!
As far as symptoms go, I don't really feel any different. I went off my prenatal at the suggestion of the midwife since it seemed to be causing me problems, although I still take a separate folic acid. Morning sickness is gone, but I do have a few food aversions left (still with the veggies!). I'm convinced my belly is starting to show but I'm probably just looking fatter. I know I'm still 5 lbs down from December, when I had my first appointment with the midwife, so that's good I guess.
I shared my news with my boss this week, and have slowly been coming out to the rest of my coworkers. It feels weird to volunteer the information though, so I usually wait until someone asks.... :-)
Next appointment March 3rd. No ultrasound though, just bloodwork.
