I'm quickly grabbing a bite to eat here at home before I head back to the workplace.

Just got back from my first "weekly" doctor's appointment and it's all good news. The baby's heart rate is at 150 and my blood pressure was at a stunningly low 90/62. My weight has stayed at 142 (from 2 weeks ago). The doctor doesn't seem concerned about anything right now...and, also, I got the results of the strep test -- negative, meaning I won't have to have antibiotics when we deliver! I'm happy about that...the fewer "interventions" we have, the better....

Today, I asked the doctor if she had any guesses as to how big the baby might be when we deliver, and she says, zyg will probably come out in the 6-7lb. range. Zyg's size is not huge, she says, but zyg will definitely be a healthy baby...!

Wow. I called Tom to give him the update and he laughed and said, "so no signs of gigantism, huh??". Nope. I only *feel* that it sometimes could be true...!

Anyway, overall, I'm happy...and feeling like quite the emotional fish today.

Today is a day where I'm very excited about being able to hold zyggy soon!
