It's a....BABY!

I had my first prenatal appointment this week and was dying to know what's going on in my tummy. I figured I was about 15 weeks along and when they said they'd be doing an ultra-sound to make sure, I had to smile because I thought they'd be able to tell me if it's a boy or girl as well as how old it was. So...to make a long story short, I found out it's healthy, active and...13 and a half weeks old. That's it. The doctor put the machine away and I was like, "were you able to see the sex of the baby?" And he said, "Oh, I wasn't really looking for that right now but we're scheduling you in to come back for another ultra-sound in a few weeks." (I was hoping he'd just turn the machine on again. Oh well.

The fun thing about the appointment was Lana. She was so cute about the whole thing. First of all, she gets a kick out of the fact that I have to pee in a cup. She really gets a good laugh out of that. She also likes watching me get blood drawn and told the nurse, "USE A BIG NEEDLE!" Watching all the other people get shots, she also told them, "Be brave and don't cry, ok?" During the ultra-sound she really brightened up. She got as close to the screen as she could and like watching the baby do flips (over and over and over). She told the doctor that when the baby comes out it's coming to her birthday party. Haha, I hate to burst her bubble on that one...

Anyway, I feel more like I'm officially preggers now that I've seen the little one. Here's to getting my ravenous appetite back in a few days hopefully!
