Appointment with Dr. Blake for additional testing. No concerns... Just a typical test to ensure Ziggy is doing well. I was amazed at the detail of the ultrasound. Ziggy is only 3 inches long, but I could see his arms/legs/spine/heart/stomach. He was curled up real tight, but all of a sudden he started jumping... and jumping... I couldn't feel a thing, but it was as if he was using me as a trampoline and having the time of his life. Hopefully that doesn't occur months from now when he's fat and long!
14 weeks
Second appointment with Dr. Van Den Heuvel - Took awhile for the nurse to find the heartbeat, but everything seems to be going well so far!

Ziggy's first trip to the mountains! Tom surprised me with a road trip to Big Bear. We had never been there in the summer so we went on a long hike, took photos of the lake, ate lunch and made the 2 1/2 hour trip back home. Quick trip, but a lot of fun!

First appointment with Dr. Van Den Heuvel - She's young, personable and obviously loves her job. Huge relief that I don't have to break up with her and find a new doctor! We sat for 30 minutes, answered family history questions and asked one question. Yes, one. You'd think we'd have more! I know we did, just couldn't spit 'em out -

Tom and I had plans to do our usual "Urban Hike." We pick an area (Little Italy/Downtown, Point Loma, etc) and just explore - We end up walking 6-8 miles, and find cute homes/stores/restaurants along the way. Before we left, I decided to sneak into the bathroom and take a pregnancy test. I hadn't been feeling any different, but we had been trying since February and I realized that I was a couple weeks late. Test One - Positive. Holy crap... Test Two (of course I had to take two... who doesn't?!) - Positive. I thought about all the special ways I could reveal them to Tom, but I went the real creative route - I came out of the bathroom, thrust them in his face and burst into tears. Happy tears, but also fearful of his reaction - After all, when I went to all my pre-pregnancy appointments in February my nurse assured me it would take at least 3 months. And how many times did I reassure him it took most couples years? Would he be okay with the news? Freak out just a bit (house/money worries)? I had nothing to worry about. His reaction was perfect.
