October 3, 2000

Hi everyone,
You may have noticed, in my last entry, that I mentioned four photos of my trip to France but only included two. This is because the limit for pictures with each entry is two and I didn't know that when I wrote my entry. So, I have included the two missing photos with this entry. There is one of John and me at Claude Monet's house, with the gardens in the background. The second picture is of me sitting in a car we saw on the street. We were amazed at how small the cars were in France.

I still have not had my blood test to confirm my PG, because my OB is booked until next Tuesday, Oct.10. I know it sounds crazy, but my OB only works at my doctor's office on Tuesdays. He has his private practice at another location where he works the rest of the week. I was given the option of seeing a nurse or visiting my OB at his main office, but I decided to wait until the 10th because there is really no urgency to see him. I know I am PG and everything seems fine, so I will see him one week from today.

Well, I am six weeks PG! I have read that at six weeks, my baby is a quarter of an inch long and has a heart the size of a poppy seed, which has already begun to beat! Learning about my progress each week has been very exciting! My estimated due date is June 4, 2001.

Thanks to everyone who has written on my board! I never knew that many people were reading!

Positive thoughts to all of you!

Janet
