Heartbreak Hotel

Well, we thought we would get to hear the heartbeat at our appointment two weeks ago, but as it turns out, it was too early in the pregnancy for that. So when we left that appointment we set up another appointment for two weeks out (which would be tomorrow) to go in and just listen to the heartbeat.

However, we realized today that Kelly's leaving for a two-day work trip tomorrow and will miss the appointment. Even though we've been talking about both events - our appointment and his trip - for two weeks, we never realized that they're concurrent events until this afternoon. With our work schedules and the classes Kelly's taking this semester and the fact that I work so far from downtown (where our birthing center is), we really can't reschedule this appointment until next week...but then we're just one more week out from our next-scheduled appointment. So, in short, I called today and cancelled our appointment for tomorrow and made a new appointment for two weeks from tomorrow. (We'd talked about the possibility of me going without him, but quickly got over that idea. It wouldn't be the same; and part of the magic of this is being able to go through things together.)

In other news, my appetite has picked up over the last few days. Yesterday, I went to breakfast with Patri at the Trolley House - a place in Boise that feeds you monumental-sized portions of truly yummy food. I reaized at one point that she was done with her meal - and had been done for ten minutes or so - but I was still eating mine (although I was starting to feel full). I commented on this and she said, "I know. I've been taking bets with myself to see just how many more bites you would take." It was funny, but I don't think I took many more bites after that. :-)
