11w

Today I went to see Dr. Philips. I had been worried about the pregnancy, and with the babysitter trouble, I was very restless. I dropped Logan off with Amy and Dan (Veteran's Day) this morning--it was so nice of them to babysit for me--and went to Santa Monica. It's about 11 weeks and I have not gain any weight. I was even able to wear size 2 jeans last week. Also last month doctor warned me of bleeding which I had not had (silly me! I should feel lucky about it!). Doctor used the doppler detector and found fetus heart rate at 162-164. What a relief! I don't think my doctor is going to do another ultrasound for us during the rest of the pregnancy. Last time he had not done even once. He did a confirmation ultrasound last month and it was $150 on the bill, not included in the regular care. I think it's fun to see ultrasound images of baby in tummy, but on the other hand I'm all for the mystery of life and I'd like to respect the privacy of the baby. But this time Mike wants to know the gender of the baby when we do the amnio test. I have to think about it.

Panda had a great time playing at Max's house. He slept 2.5 hours this afternoon, a recent record! I should let him hang out with Max more often. :)
