I have let too much time pass between my last entry and this one. I guess that is what happens when pregnancy stops consuming your every thought (because you do "kind of" get used to it) and when life's craziness takes over. We have had a lot going on in the past month including the replacement of our hardwood floor, shipping the dogs north to gramma and grampa's so that we could go on vacation, going on vacation, and working our fingers to the bone trying to pay down more debt and save a little for the big event!
We even had our first ultrasound on March 3, 2008. And wouldn't you know it, B3 really is alive! John got the best seats in the house. I had to accept an awkward view from the bed but I still managed to make out those little frog legs, perfect feet and the hand that was waving at us. What an amazing experience. We didn't cry like everyone said we would. Instead we giggled a lot. According to the technician, B3 is expected to arrive around September 12th and she insisted that there was only one baby in this tummy of mine. I am still skeptical because, as I am told over and over again, I am very big for a 17 week pregnant woman (at the time, 12 week mommy-to-be).
We also met with Dr. Lal on the 3rd. She went through the whole delivery process and medical appointments we can look forward to in the coming months. I didn't quite absorb it all because I was completely overwhelmed. However, I don't expect that is a big deal because I see her every month until this summer when the appointments increase dramatically.
We have almost completed the baby registry. John and I get a kick out of going to the baby stores and looking at all of the stuff. I imagine we will have more to add to the list of wishes once we know what B3 will be. For now, we'll just sit and wait not so patiently.
In my next entry, I will post pictures of our first trip as a family-in-waiting. You'll be flabbergasted by my enormity.
For now, enjoy the first of many many baby pictures to come...
