Fig

Yesterday I had another appointment with my midwife/NP, Sue. Tim and I were really excited because we were hoping to see more of the baby on the sonogram. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I don’t have to do anymore internal sonograms. She squirted that jelly right onto my tummy and passed it over, and this is what we saw:

My baby was dancing around like crazy! Tim said, “This is so freakin’ cool!” when it started to wave its arms and legs. I have never seen anything so awesome in my life. :) Sue did tell us that I am farther along than originally thought, and will be due approximately June 2nd. My next appointment is in 4 weeks, and I am hoping that we can get an idea of the sex of the baby. I REALLY hope its a girl! Right now, the baby is the size of a fig. I love figs, especially on pizza, so this week I’ll have to avoid them or I’ll feel funny. I had to give so much blood yesterday for prenatal testing that I felt pretty weak after. Initally, we weren’t going to do the testing because I wasn’t sure how I’d feel if there were negative results. There is no history in either of our families of any genetic or mental defects (other than insanity, LOL) so I don’t expect to see anything, but it did give me something else to worry about. In the end, Tim and I decided to go for it; we’d rather know ahead of time so we can prepare.
In other news, we’re trying to sell the blasted Jeep, and so far have not been very successful. I ended up listing it on Vehix as well as craigslist.com, so maybe that will bring in a buyer so I can pay off my credit card. Joy of joys, the new doors finally arrived and will be installed shortly! They’re going to make our house look fabulous. :)
LOL of the week:
