Well

My next appointment with the midwife is Jan 5th, at which time I will have my 20 week ultrasound when we would normally find out the gender. Well, today I found out at work that we are having a GIRL!  The intern thought it looked like a boy, but then the lead tech looked pointed out that it was the umbilical cord. Now, there is the chance that they were wrong becuase 20 weeks is really the ideal time to check, so, if I say in two weeks that it's a boy, that's what's up!

16 Week Appointment

Tomorrow I have my 16 week appointment. I can't believe I'm that far already. That means my next appointment is the halfway point. Wow, it's going fast! Most of the first trimester discomforts are gone, and I'll be in better shape once I finish healing from my root canal retreat.  So, in about two weeks I should be able to enjoy the comfort of being in the second trimester.  I still haven't felt the baby move, but I've seen it on ultrasound. In fact the baby was waving, clapping, spinning, basically doing everything BUT hold still. Lucy talks about the new baby, but I think she is thinking she's getting a new doll.  So, only 4 weeks until we find out of it's a boy or girl! I'm excited!
