I have begun showing finally and with that means new clothes.
Maternity clothes.
If you are not Korean, these type of clothes--who am I kidding, any type of clothes---are very difficult to find in Korea.

Baby's First Book
Yesterday, October 1, 2014, Joseph and I received the baby's first book in the mail!
Quad Blood Test
This past Friday I had another doctor's appointment.
This one was a Quad blood test and they also did a sonogram to try and see if it is a boy or girl. No luck on that so far. The baby was sleeping and wasn't inclined to wake up. Boo!
The quad blood test tests for 4 different types of substances in my blood: AFP, hCG, Estriol, and Inhibin-A. This test is designed to test the risk of possible problems such as Downs Syndrome, spina bifida, and/or Trisomy 18 or other types of chromosome abnormalities.

Happy vs. Cautious
I am part of a fertility group on Facebook where we discuss our thoughts and things going on with us as well as documenting our progress and regressions into said progress. We were discussing one week about personal questions or statements each of us has gotten about our journey and how we responded to them. I didn't have such a question at the time but now I do.
Statement: You must be so happy you are pregnant.

CraViNgs
I have just begun craving coca cola.
Before becoming pregnant it was something I very rarely drank.
Now when I see people drinking it I want to jump over the table and pry it from their lips.

First's
As I've said before we are beginning to get excited about this baby business.
We have already had a couple of "first's." Billie Jo gave us our first pair of baby boots (like Ugg but way cuter and adorable) and Tiffany and Brian gave us our first stuffed animal: a turtle! From their trip to Borneo and I broke down and ordered a soft baby blanket from Etsy (no photo yet as it hasn't arrived).

The R's Are Having A Baby
This week I was a little nervous. I decided I should tell the university I work for that I'm pregnant.
There was no need to be nervous, however. I told my director, my direct boss the HR and Academic Director. They were all lovely about it and so kind and caring.
