7w6d and graduated!

I have to admit I am a little hazy on the math here, given the vagaries of "LMP" system by which the medical profession insists on estimating embryonic age, but suffice it to say by any measure, Speedyblob is trucking along. We heard the heart for the first time today. Still no rate-- I am beginning to suspect that the RE's office has somewhat crappy ultrasound machines-- but the doctor was very positive about it. She called it "very strong", pronounced me done, gave me & Speedy hugs, and sent us packing.

EDD: Sometime in mid-December, that's all I'm gonna say about that, a la Strawberry .

I will post a pic when my cell phone decides to behave. Am I the only one left without an iPhone? I really don't want that much functionality on my phone.

Sorry for the light blogging/commenting lately. My parents were in town over the weekend, and Speedy was not, which, combined with my not drinking-- I never realized how heavily my family relies on alcohol to tolerate each other: the first dinner, my father and brother each had six drinks!-- led to some rather unhappy days and the realization that my father is choosing not to accept Speedy & me as a couple or as family. And so. This will complicate things with Speedyblob, perhaps.

I am waiting for the second trimester to tell, though I think at this point I only want to tell my mother-- the news will filter out from her, and I won't have to deal with the reactions.
