She reviewed all of our blood-work and tests to-date and gave me an A+ (for both my blood type and test results.) We didn't have an ultrasound today, but she listened to the baby's heartbeat with a doppler device and the heart rate measured at 153 beats per minute - right in the middle of the healthy range for our stage.
Everything is moving along beautifully except for one very strange thing... which, of course, would happen to me! If I stand or walk for any amount of time, the skin on the outside and top of my left thigh goes completely numb and eventually feels like ice water was poured over it or like it was set on fire. Robin can pinch my thigh and I don't feel anything at the skin-level - only pressure in my muscle. Dr. Nokleberg suggested my SI joint may be out of whack and encouraged me to get a massage. She expects it to get worse as tee-tiny grows, so we may end up exploring physical therapy at a later date. For now, I think massage sounds like a great remedy!
Our next appointment in August 26. We'll have a full sonogram that morning before we see Dr. Nokleberg and we'll know whether our tee tiny is a boy or a girl -- we can't wait!

Yea! I'm so happy little "Tee Tiny" is growing as he/she should!
Love you 3!
I have really enjoyed keeping up with the progress of "Tee tiny" via your website. It is fun and exciting.
Love, Dad
Drink some orange juice right before your sonogram. It will make the baby move & groove so that you can capture some good shots. It's actually an old wive's tale and it certainly worked for us. There was absolutely no doubt we were having a litle boy.
Good luck!
