\n the newest addition to our pumpkin patch. In the second picture
\n baby’s near arm is lying at its side and the far hand is on
\n baby’s forehead. Looks pretty comfy, huh? Silly baby doesn’t
\n know yet that it’s gonna get pretty snug in there.<\/p>\n

The whole appointment thing was actually kind
\n of annoying today. Since it was a short-notice schedule, we had
\n to take a 2pm appointment. I generally try to do first thing in
\n the morning because they aren’t running behind and Lex is well
\n rested. Two very good things at a doctor’s appointment. Sadly
\n 2pm is smack in the middle of naptime and apparently quite busy
\n for the docs as well. The ultrasound itself went smooth enough,
\n and confirmed my existing due date — to the day! The midwife
\n was worried that their estimate was off, so she wanted this
\n early ultrasound to confirm. I guess the earlier the better
\n when you’re trying to determine conception. As the baby gets
\n bigger the normal size variations start to develop and it’s
\n harder to determine the due date. So, anyway, to the day, the
\n ultrasound confirmed March 25th. Which makes me (according to
\n the tech) 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant. How precise. The
\n annoying part was the follow up appointment. Alan went back to
\n work, so a very tired Lex and I waited (in the little examining
\n room, not the big comfy waiting room) for 25 minutes for the
\n midwife. Then she finally came in and said “Well, everything
\n looks fine. Any questions?” I said “no” and that was the end of
\n it. A 25 minute wait and a 2 minute appointment. Thankfully Lex
\n is an angel, even when tired. He did escape from me once at the
\n end when I was booking my follow-up appointments, but a
\n friendly nurse grabbed him and brought him back :) One other
\n nice thing is that I was able to schedule my next appointment
\n immediately following Lex’s 18 month check up in November.
\n Actually, I have another ultratsound (normal 18wk one) in
\n October, but my next, next appoinment is after his in November.
\n I’m hoping there are no delays with his, but it’s at 8:30 in
\n the morning and they are usually pretty prompt then. I always
\n go for the 8:00 or 8:30am appointments :) <\/p>\n

Ok, gotta clean and get ready for another busy day. Just
\n two more days until we are homeowners again!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
