sorry there haven't been many posts. g-ma is in the hospital still and will be for another week at least. she had surgery the night before last to drain a bunch of fluid and debris out of her lungs and chest cavity and also to repair a tear in her diaphragm. today she's running a high fever but is doing okay. anyway, keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
meanwhile i'm still gestating. the crown to rump length (top of head to butt) of the baby is almost an inch this week or about pinto bean sized. my sense of smell is very heightened this time around, which sucks since not much sounds good to eat anyways. i have an appointment with a homebirth-friendly obstetrician (they DO exist, but there aren't many) next tuesday for a general consultation. that way if anything goes wrong later in pregnancy, anything that rosanna feels makes me not capable of having a homebirth, i will see him and deliver at stanford instead. i'm excited and hopeful that maybe we'll be able to hear the heartbeat!
