The Most Awesome Doctor's Appointment...

Today we had another doctor's appointment. It was supposed to be just a regular check up, but it turned into something much more awesome. We got called back, and I got weighed. I had lost 3 pounds. The fat girl part of me was STOKED, because that is how I react any time I lose any amount of weight. But the pregnant girl part of me was nervous if that was bad or not. We got back to the room and waited a few minutes. Sarah, our RN, peaked her head in and said, "I've had a bunch of no-shows today and want to see a baby. You guys want an ultrasound?" Uh, hell yes. We got moved to a room with an ultrasound machine and Mike and I got super excited. Any time we get to see the baby is great! She came in and started the ultrasound. As soon as the baby came up on the screen, it was dancing and moving around like crazy! She took a bunch of pictures for us:







This one, the baby is looking right at the camera. I love my baby, but it's kinda creepy in this picture. Very alien-ish.



And this one you can see it's little hand



After looking around for about 20 minutes, she said, "well, you know, don't put money on this, but this looks like a girl." At first, we were a little disappointed, because we would both like a boy, but we are both getting perfectly ok with having a little girl run around.

She got me cleaned up, and asked me if I was still throwing up. I said no and that I was feeling fine. She said she was wondering since I had lost some weight, and that I need to eat more. Ah, music to a fat girl's ears. Then we talked about the headaches I had been getting, and she suggested that I drink more caffiene. Ah, music to a Starbucks junkie's ears. She then told us that we could make our next appointment, which will be to find out the sex of the baby! It's on September 8th and we can't wait.

All in all, this was a great appointment. We got to see our little baby, I get to eat more, and drink more caffiene. Totally awesome!
