February 2 - 8
Dear Poppy,
This week Mommy was feeling much better – her energy is a little better, and the morning sickness is much less intense. Unfortunately this was immediately followed by her first pregnancy pain – very achy hips! This is really making side sleeping uncomfortable and I have always been a side sleeper. After a couple of day I visited our massage therapist and she made my hips feel much better – for a few days at least.
We also visited the OBGYN for the first time this week. The practice Mommy is going to treats patients in OB & midwife teams which is perfect for us as Mommy prefers a midwife and Daddy thinks we need an OBGYN. It was a very quick visit (part of why Mommy prefers a midwife) but everything looked great. We got to hear your heartbeat with the Doppler this visit which was quite exciting! We also decided not to screen you for Downs Syndrome. The screening does not actually diagnose you, but rather gives you statistics (and sometimes gives you false results) which will probably just make your Daddy very worried. Given Mommy’s age the chance that you are completely healthy is already extremely good, so we will trust that you are growing just beautifully!
Current craving: frozen yogurt. Pinkberry is the best! Also your Uncle Rich introduced me to a frozen yogurt bar in Quincy that is even better than Pinkberry, but sadly Quincy isn’t very convenient for us.
Current size: lime (1.6 inches long)
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
