Still good

Yesterday was my second ultrasound of the pregnancy.  Everything is still looking great.  Heartbeat is now up to 133 and the alien in my belly is measuring right on time for 6w5d.  CP is currently in Puerto Rico so he couldn't be there, but after I sent him a picture of the ultrasound, he proclaimed that it looked like a blob.  Nice.  (of course I did just call it an alien so I guess I'm not much better)  :-)

Thank you for all of your suggestions and advice on finding a doctor.  Because it is so early, only our parents know so I don't want to give away our secret by asking around to friends or extended family members.  But I think that I have a possible hospital selected and I'm waiting for a suggestion from both my RE and a fellow infertile.  :-)

My next scan is on Wednesday the 24th when I will be 8 weeks along.  After that, I'm released to my OB (whomever that will be).

This morning I woke up and my boobs grew overnight.  Seriously.  I went to button the top button of my rain jacket this morning and I couldn't.  Yikes.  I'm already a 36DDD and already own over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders but maybe I need to find a few bigger bras soon?

The tragedy in Boston yesterday made me sick to my stomach.  I don't understand why anyone would do such a thing and my heart breaks for all of the injured and killed and their families.  I had quite a few friends either running or watching the marathon yesterday- thankfully I think that everyone is accounted for.  As someone who will hopefully be bringing a child into the world come December, a thought did cross my mind on whether I want to bring an innocent child up in a world such as ours.  I guess this probably happens every generation...you think that there is more violence and depravity then in a more innocent time only 20 years ago.  And really, you can't parent out of fear all of the time.  You just have to do the best that you can.
