Yet another doctor to see

A few days ago my wife went to the OB again. He said her last blood test showed a few things. One, her PSH (I think) levels are high. That's some thyroid thing, so she needs to see an endocrinologist. Second, he doesn't think she should be taking Lovenox anymore. Apparently, on the ultrasound they saw what they called a "bleeder" in her uterus. It's not a problem, but he doesn't like it, and he thinks the Lovenox is causing it.
So, I called the doctor who prescribed the Lovenox, and his secretary tells me he needs to discuss it with the OB. I call the OB's office, and leave a message with the doctor's name and number. Of course, a few days later, they haven't spoken.
My wife is still taking the Lovenox, and we're waiting for the results of the yet to happen conversation.

Shopping

Today my wife went shopping for maternity clothes with a friend (who will be reading this at some point... hi!). I got lucky with this - I hate going clothing shopping with my wife. I'm sure every guy can relate: "Does this make me look fat?" Yes, it's maternity for God's sake! You're supposed to be big!
Anyway, she's kinda freaked out. She's still terrified she's going to miscarry, and buying the clothes was a waste of time. I think it's normal for her to be worried given our history.

A few updates

It's been a little while, sorry, I've been busy.
A few updates:
1. The doctor said he's not going to reduce, so we (hopefully) get both babies!
2. We told our siblings about the pregnancy this week.
That's pretty much it, and it's only a few minutes to Shabbos, so I've got to run!

A really big scare ***UPDATED***

My wife woke up at about 5:30 this morning, and had some bleeding. She has to go to the doctor for an ultrasound later on. We're both nervous wrecks.

UPDATE

The doctor said everything is fine!

A TIME Shabbaton Update

After my last post about A TIME, I got some negative feedback, both here as comments, and through other channels. I took off my comment regarding the organization, because, as one person pointed out to me, posters on their forum don't represent the organization. This morning I found out that due to the argument that occurred, A TIME got rid of all mixed seating at the Shabbaton. I know of 3 couples who immediately canceled their reservations. I guess the posters do represent the organization, as they all seem to have no respect for people who live a different lifestyle from them.

Limbs

We were at the OB last night, and on the ultrasound, she showed us the beginnings of an arm and a leg. So cool!
