Good news day

I had a looooong ultrasound. All my babies seem to run away from the ultrasound and hide in the far reaches of my uterus, or as close to my bladder as they can get. After two people working at it for over an hour the results are: totally normal. All systems are go. Yay!

The baby had his/her hands flexing and moving and twisting - always in front of his/her genitals, so no clue if we're having a boy or a girl. This was much less important than whether there was a four chambered heart and a well-developing brain, so who cares? It would have been nice to know but for now - witch baby remains whatever.

My thyroid was totally back to normal. My ovarian cyst remained disappeared. My blood tests were fine, and my sugar/protein was fine and I've gained 3 lbs (good amount) and my virus scan came back negative - really negative. The only downside is I've never been exposed to toxoplasmosis, which is good because you really don't want to catch it during pregnancy, but bad 'cause I don't have the antibodies so I could. So I'm supposed to really only pet the cats in short bursts and then wash, wash, wash my hands (I usually do anyway). They probably don't have it, but you never know. And of course we're careful about litter and raw meat anyway.

So, it was a good news day. Scan of ultrasound to come later.
