Nothin' much.
Still have to put laundry away. Made food last night, egg noodles with mushrooms and green onions. Was yum, could add a dollop of sour cream next time if you want. Have leftover noodles fried in butter for lunch. Also yum.
Had decent night with Tom, which is nice. Realized we totally forgot his study time this past weekend. Going to use the extra time after the ultrasound tomorrow for it instead, so that works out.
I've decided to send Will with Mom tomorrow. It just is really important that Tom and I both be able to concentrate on the ultrasound and I don't think the same applies (to the same degree anyway) for Mom at Grandma's appointments, plus, due to the novelty, he'll probably behave a bit better for them, too.
Have researched more. IUGR is what we're looking at most likely. Worrisome, but nothing we can (or could have) do(ne) so, *shrug*. Wait and see and hope for the very-possible best.
There's the possibility of birth defects/chromosomal abnormalities. Not that this doesn't generally suck, but it sucks more because it would likely keep us out of Canada on top of everything else. So I thought about what we'd do if we couldn't go, which amounts to taking out another home equity loan and doing some renovations on the house to make it more long-term livable as well as ultimately up the value. I think that would be wiser than trying to sell in this market, although I suppose if we sold well (and we do have quite a bit of equity left even with our current loan), we could get a bargain on a new place.
It helps me to have contingency plans in place...then I feel more capable of dealing if the worst case scenario DOES happen.
Anyway, aside from the laundry it's just hanging out today, pretty much. Maybe do some cleaning/work on the office if I get bored enough.

Hangin' in there. Hopefully we'll get good news after the ultrasound/doppler studies. If nothing else, we'll probably find out the gender, anyway!

I've never fried egg noodles in butter. I have fried other pasta (tortellini fried with butter and Parmesan is one of those things I accidentally discovered, and it's become something of a family favorite.:) but I'll have to try that. I love egg noodles.

I'm so glad that everything worked out. :)

Love you.
