Adversions: I flew to Delaware this week, and as the plane took off I thought I was going to throw up! I felt sick for about an hour or so...and then I felt better.

Here is my picture at 13 weeks:

So after my last appointment, I was really bummed that I didn’t get to hear the heartbeat. I had heard that you could buy a Doppler to use at home, so I decided to order one! I just got back from a great trip to Delaware (more on that in a minute) to meet my new manager and team. The next day, the Doppler arrived! It took me a few minutes to finally find it, but I did! The heartbeat was around 163, which is good. When Rob got home from work, he got to listen to it too, which was fun! I’m so glad I bought this, and it’s really going to give me piece of mind, since I’m so paranoid.

So back to my trip. It was a great trip because 2 big things happened. I had decided to tell my manager that I was pregnant, which was scary enough since I just joined the team a few months ago. I also asked her if I could work from home on a permanent basis because Rob and I wanted to move to the Sacramento area. To my surprise, she said it was fine with her, but she would have to talk to our group director for the final say. She was very excited about my pregnancy, and then told me that she’s pregnant too! How funny is that? She’s 11 ½ weeks, so she is barely behind me at all. I guess no one else on our team can get pregnant!
