away (updated) (with good news!)

There's another ultrasound this afternoon and, though I have somewhat mixed feelings about it, mostly I'm glad that Trish lives a plane ride away (well, really two plane rides, since there aren't any direct flights), far enough away that I really can't be there for every appointment.

All through Kyrie's pregnancy, on the drive to the doctor's office, I steeled for bad news and I never never managed to bring myself to look at the ultrasound screen. And now, even after going through a successful surrogacy, it's almost impossible to believe that things could actually work out this time, that I haven't used up all my good luck.

I'll update once I hear something.

update: And everything looks fine, wonderful, perfect. The baby (and see, I can even type that word) is measuring a few days ahead. Trish has lots of pictures (though I'm not up to looking at them quite yet) and the next appointment is on October 19. You have no idea what a huge relief this is or how thoroughly I'd convinced myself that we were going to be getting bad news.
