I was wrong about which midwife I was seeing at the practice today. This one was fantastic! Except that they made me have a second Pap smear in six months (ick!) and I got the pleasure of having a med student observe (awesome!). "Can you see her cervix? I should have used a different spec."

They think I actually am exactly as far along as I think based on the size of my uterus, but I'll have a vaginal ultrasound (FUN!) in four weeks to confirm. Until then, I'm pretty much expected to just behave like my life is not completely turned upside-down. (I remember having these same thoughts with Alliclaus' pregnancy as well. Unfortunately, there was never a month that went by when I didn't have to go back in for some weirdness. Hopefully, this pregnancy will be much less eventful.)

I have been pretending to be on top of my class prep for next week, but I am grossly behind, so my guess is that this may be my last post for awhile (although I guess you never know - procrastination does wonders for my posting). I'm having to do chapter outlines of two books (which? I'm in grad school. Aren't chapter outlines rather...high school?) plus two very short papers before Monday, but I should probably also try to get on top of the other eight assignments that will be due during the two weeks the course actually runs. I'll definitely still be reading from time to time. I also have approximately a million baby blankets to finish.

I'm sure I'll figure it out. See you soon.
