Ya-cha-cha. Hey all! And yay Nic for going to all the trouble with the names.

Welcome and congratulations, new ladies! (and BA3, I hope you stick around too, theres no selfishness in that at all - everyone here has been there, and understands only too well.)
I had my first real docs apt. on Thursday. She said she was so happy when she got back from her vacation and saw our thumbs up ultrasound on the top of her work pile, shes been so behind our long journey towards baby #2.
Were moving the date back a few days for testing purposes, but keeping the EDD for now, if that makes sense. Im going for the nuchal in a couple of weeks, so hopefully thatll be reassuring. She says if everything looks good at that time, she feels like this is a very solid pregnancy. She was also happy that Ive gotten into shape in the last 6 months (I started exercising and have lost 30 pounds since I last saw her) so weight/blood pressure etc. is apparently perfect. Gonna try to avoid the house sized pregnancy this go around.
One issue is that the speck of a cyst I had on my remaining ovary has grown (I asked them to check when they did the u/s) from .6 to .10 mm. This is a little worrying, since it hasnt been that long and the last one (the one that ate my other ovary with the torsion and required emerg. surgery) grew very, very quickly, so we need to keep a steady eye on that. If it looks like its going for broke, I may have to have laparoscopic surgery to remove it. Im crossing my fingers that it just stays put.
In some Very Good News, I was under the impression that I no longer carried antibodies for measles/rubella (its been a long time since my immunizations), so Ive been paranoid about that, since we had a measles outbreak here recently, but apparently my bloodwork came back with all the antibodies, so thumbs up!
I have a potential E-antigen issue we have to keep an eye on, but it should be okay, and were assuming Ill have a C-section because I had one with my son and then the abdominal surgery for the torsion, so generally they dont like to do a vag at this point.
Thats about it! Weve been getting more excited, going through name books, letting ourselves loosen up a bit. It feels good. Thinking well probably spill the beans next month, at least to family & close ones. Crossing my fingers for all the upcoming scans and sending smiles to everyone with recent good news.
