We got our amnio results, and all is normal with both babies!  One is a boy as expected, and the other is definitely a girl.  The risk of doing amnio worked out well, and we can have peace of mind through the pregnancy and beyond.

L is growing well and is on schedule with her weight (after a few days of worrisome regression).  Her symptoms are mostly receded except for a prolific salivation and expectoration habit.  She is anxious to see the babies on ultrasound next week.  I’m continuing my writing and serving as house husband.  We’re collecting a lot of checkmarks for cooking at home, to be redeemed for future gadgets, guilt-free, at a rate of $20 per checkmark.

We’re in the process of purging the unneccesities of our past life, making needed space in the basement, hunting down used clothes and gear for the first year, ordering blinds to make it easier for everyone to sleep, picking out colors for the guest room nursery, figuring out family finances, and watching baby rearing videos.
