I had my first OB visit today. He was surprised and a bit concerned that we've told people already. He warned me that the results of the First Look might be quite bad and then how do we announce we've terminated the pregnancy. Something to consider, yes, but I do like knowing I have a local support network in case something bad does happen. He also cautioned against committing to an amnio until the results of the first look are in. He said the risks of that might outweigh any knowledge gained. So here's hopping the first look comes out 1:1500 or some other highly unlikely to be Downs number.
On the positive front, Sprog was jumping all over the place when he did an ultrasound look! He could see a heartbeat as well, although I wasn't able to make that out. It looked more bean-like now than shrimptastic. No longer the treif sprog :)
On clothing, I bought a new bra to get me through the next few months. I went up a band size and a cup size! The cups fit over Spouse's head! My regular clothes shopping was a bit of a bust (hee hee! Bust!) Everything was expensive, ugly, too small or some combination of the three. I ended up ordering a couple of plaid shirts from Motherhood Maternity online instead, paying about half of what just one shirt would cost at the way too expensive A Pea in a Pod. Amusingly though, I assembled a Steampunk outfit there out of cropped cargo pants, a military-look jacket and shirt, all in shades of brown/olive. If I knew a whole bunch of women that wanted to kit out Steampunk for pregnancy so we could share it, I totally would have bought the lot! Of course with a vintage dress waiting for me to make, I shouldn't be thinking about pre-fab crap.
That's the update for today. Have a lovely week!
