we received a couple of items of good news today!
dr. moritz called with the results of my NT scan (and it's about *bleepin'* time.) the results placed the baby at a 1:1800 risk for down syndrome and other trisomies. the good doctor said, "can't ask for any better than that!" which is great to hear, but also makes me feel old....at 34, i am practically a pregnancy dinosaur, just one digit and revolution around the sun from the dreaded "high risk" category, so we'll take our compliments where we can get 'em.
the other fantastic news is that our landlord, ruben, plans to renovate our apartment this summer! w00t! we really love wolfeinelli headquarters, but were afraid that its current setup (combined livingroom and bedroom with NO DOOR) was simply not conducive to sleep training an infant. ruben's idea is to put our NEW bedroom in the back or our apartment where our kitchen is currently, and then combine our NEW kitchen with our NEW living room and build a brand spankin' NEW bathroom. we're talking a gut renovation, so we will need to sublet during that time and work out some type of storage situation for all of our stuff. totally worth it, though, as we really do have a great space and we love our neighborhood!
such a relief, knowing that these things are gradually falling into place. i am so relieved, in fact, that i will not complain about another day from hell with lil' miss nasty.

eight week appointment- this kid's got a tail!
from 3/10:
had our first doctor's appt today!
i am in such good hands. dr. moritz is a gem. i couldn't ask for a better doctor. plus, he delivered max roach's daughter's babies!! how crazy is that? if he's good enough for max roach, he's good enough for us.
he is also a bit of a tv star. here is a clip of him on abc news discussing eating disorders.
anyways, i gave about six vials of blood, had an ultrasound, and heard a big, beautiful heartbeat (about 150-160 BPM) and saw a gorgeous little bean, complete with tail stub and a gloriously beating heart. i could even make out the beginnings of tiny arms and legs and a head!
crazy. seriously crazy. bdub claims that if you hooked me up to a lie detector test and asked me if i secretly wanted the tail stub to stay, i would have to say "yes". this is true. i guess it has something to do with my mild obsession with the book Geek Love in my early twenties.
anyhoo, i got a bunch of prenatal vitamins, paid my $50 copay and that was that.
i can't describe the elation of seeing that heartbeat....nice and strong. plus, our due date is earlier than we had expected:
OCTOBER 18!!
that's brian wolfe day! what a coincidence! ehrrin keenan pointed out that already the bean knows how the wolfeinelli's roll, and is falling in line to arrive for our celebration.
symptoms thus far:
1. gas/constipation
2. fatigue
3. sore boobs
4. bloat
5. nausea
