The Varelas

I heard the heartbeat today! It was at 160 and sounded kind of like water quickly sloshing back and forth. The rest of the doc appointment besides hearing the heartbeat was very routine. The doctor went over my bloodwork with me (everything's normal and good, and I'm not a carrier for cystic fibrosis), and she asked if I had any questions, and that's about it. Next appointment is in 3 weeks.

Several people have commented this week that I'm showing a little bit! They already knew I was pregnant, so they were "looking," but still, that is fun.

I'm cooking a good dinner for Jon and me tonight. I feel like we barely see each other during the week, and when we do, it's for a quick hello before one of us leaves for an obligation (music rehearsal or basketball or flute lessons or whatever) or a late-night dinner eaten in the living room. So tonight, it's meatloaf, potato casserole (two of Jon's favorites), and some veggies, with the last piece of pumpkin pie being saved for my husband (I even bought whipped cream--he is going to love it).
