All Is Quiet and Normal Here

Sorry for the Most Boring Blog Title Ever. 

We got to Baton Rouge and are 95% moved in.  I had appointments with both the regular and high-risk OB's the first week we were here.  I really liked the staff and docs at both places, which is practically a miracle, and very reassuring.  Had a nice long u/s with mat/fet med and the heart looked good enough that they recommended holding off on fetal echo for now.  We will repeat the big u/s in a couple of weeks to check baby's heart again.  I'm feeling well, with the exception of some very uncomfortable swelling in my .... uh, lady parts.  Sorry if that is entirely too much information.  I've never even heard of this before, and I'm going to assume its normal and there is nothing to be done about it, but boy-howdy is it unpleasant. Haven't mentioned it to a doc yet because I haven't seen one since it started.  Am moderately stressed that we know no one here and the closest person we have that could watch Colin while this baby is born is 7 hours away, but we've got some time to work on that since we are just at the 23-24 week mark.  My husband's solution is planned induction so family is already here, but that is just not my bag.  

I want to share more about how Colin is adjusting to life down here, and my quest to find activities for him like the library, Gymb*ree, swimming lessons and preschool, but I think I'd better get to bed for now.

I'm glad you all are settling in. I hope things continue to be smooth for everyone.

Are you having this kind of ...trouble?
