19 weeks!
Oh me. It's hard to find time to write, and yet I want to update. I get worried that I am not updating, then I worry about how my writing is, am I entertaining enough? Do my stories make sense? And then I remind myself that all of three people know this website exists and really, I should just type whatever is on my mind and not stress out about what I am saying. Easier said than done.
Life has been so busy lately. When I am not working I am thinking about all the work we need to do to get the house ready for this kid...and the best way I know how to do that is sit on my ass and watch TV. Really, it is so efficient. No wonder I am a tad stressed about all that needs to get done. However, I can say with confidence that when this kid arrives I will be completely caught up on Grey's Anatomy, so that is one less thing I will have to worry about.
Today was a day that I won't soon forget. We went for the 19 week sonogram! The blob that was residing in my stomach at 7 weeks has grown up! We saw the spine, heart, legs, arms, hands, feet, brain, bladder, nose, chin, and it's freaky little Skeletor eyes. And! And it yawned as we were watching it, already it is bored with us and our excitement over its miraculous existence. I loved seeing how much this kid was moving around, it was so active, which reassured me even more that it was healthy.
I was so tempted to ask if the technician could tell if this kid was a boy or a girl. There was a moment that I almost asked, and then I willed my mouth shut. When I told Jim I almost asked he said it was better that I didn't, it would be too easy to follow up with: 'So. Go ahead. Tell me what it is.' Ooooo...but it was hard to resist asking. And at one point I had convinced myself it is a girl, but then Jim pointed to some image on one of the print out pictures and said "Is it a boy?" So, we are just back to square one and I hope to be guessing all the way up until February 28.
Baby: I can't wait to meet you! Already you are the most awesome kid in the world because you are mine!
