Just an update:

Brie had her appointment today and we have a due date now: August 20th.  She needs to call and make an appointment for an ultrasound in the next few days to double check measurements, and the date will be adjusted accordingly if need be.  Everything looked good and on track, and we heard the baby's heartbeat, strong, rapid and very vibrant at 160 beats per minute.  She has been told she should gain between 25 and 35 pounds because she is is in good shape and good health, and has been encouraged to remain active for as long as possible.  The bloodwork was all within the normal ranges, so they are not terribly concerned about the sugar in her urine, but she will have an early glucose tolerance test (usually done at 28 weeks) to double check it, with a follow up at 28 weeks.  She is thought to be 13.5 weeks along.  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to be there with her today and support her, and hearing the heartbeat really validates that this is REAL!  Now to get her enrolled and started in school so she can remain on our insurance....
