We are having.....a baby girl!!!
As much as I may question the medical necessity and post-effects of ultrasounds on babies, it was really a beautiful, amazing experience to see our little girl for the first time. She appears to be happy and healthy, with all 10 fingers and all 10 toes and a strong heart beat. I am told she weighs just about 15 oz, which is apparently also perfect. Time to go buy up all the tutus in town, as this is all I plan to dress her in.
Her kicking and dancing and bouncing is getting stronger every day, and yesterday Michael was finally able to feel her moving. I love calling the baby "her", it's so fun! In other news, I am sick again. This is the second time since being pregnant and I am not happy about it. Being sick this often is not something that I do and I am very frustrated by it. This time around, I have a horrible chest cold. I have been trying to decide which is worse, sore throat and chest conjestion or stuffy nose and plugged ears. I feel each have their own tragedies and so I cannot pick. I went to the doctor to make sure I didn't have strep throat and also to hopefully whine enough that she would give me medicine but, alas, she told me I did not have strep and to go home and drink water, sleep, and gargle with salt water. Le sigh. The reason I go to this particular doctor is because she does not prescribe medicine for my every complaint but seriously, wah. I really wanted some drugs.
