The Kicker

Our peanut went to the doctor on Friday for it's latest checkup. My weight went down another half pound since I'm still feeling queasy, but the doctor says not to worry -- the peanut is a "perfect little parasite" (his words) and takes all the nutrition it needs before letting me have any. He also mentioned (and I appreciate the forewarning) that since the baby is definitely growing well, I might gain as much as ten pounds in the next 4-6 weeks. Wow.

We also got to listen to the heartbeat again and, while I still can't feel any movement, we could hear distinct kicks -- sort of like when you tap on the top of a live microphone. So nice to know that things are going well.
