Its a.....

Grub worm! Ha...well thats what my sarcastic Colonel Sanders look-alike doctor said today.


I had my first doctor appointment today, where I had the great pleasure of peeing in a cup, getting probed by said Colonel Sanders, and finally getting to see my little girl or boy on the screen for the first time. It really was amazing. We couldn't see much, as the baby is only 1/4" long right now. When he turned it just right, it was kinda bean shaped I guess, but what you see loud and clear was something that seemed to comprise half of the baby's body mass. And as I watched I saw it move, up down, up down...so very fast. Without a word I knew that I was watching a tiny little heart, pumping blood through even tinier veins, through this tiny little body.

And I was breathless.

It is so amazing, that something so small can be so complex already. I just have no words...

I have a DVD of it all, which is really awesome cause I can send a copy to Steve. The doc also gave me a due date: October 28. And in two weeks I get to go back and get another ultrasound...cause by then I'll be able to see legs and arms!

I'm still feeling pretty good, had a monster headache Saturday but have felt okay since. I'm hungry about every 2 hours, which is really annoying. Stomach was a little shakey after lunch today, don't know if its the wings we had or if it was nerves because we went and talked to the house people today so mom and dad could see what it would look like. Other than that, feeling good, just tired and hungry. :)
