Pip is approximately the size of an avocado this week. That's pretty big! There is not too much to report. I hope to feel him or her move in the next couple of weeks. My next doctor's appointment is Monday, and we should find out the sex a couple of weeks after that. Then Pip can be a him or her.
Pip is excited to go on his first beach trip in a little over a week, but not quite as excited as I am!
I suppose my biggest concern at the moment is Swine flu. The drugs that treat it are all Category C (This means that no clinical studies have been done to determine whether they're safe for pregnant women. Moms-to-be have taken oseltamivir and zanamivir to prevent or treat flu in the past, before swine flu came along, and no bad effects were reported for them or their babies. But because the effects have not been studied, the CDC says, "Oseltamivir or zanamivir should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the embryo or fetus."). Swine flu made its way into Georgia today. It's kind of scary to watch its effects on the country and to watch how quickly it is spreading. For more info, go to this article on babycenter.
