Scan day!
Scan day!
Everything went so much better this time! We got a great view of babe and heard it's strong little heartbeat. I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it!!
We had the guy tech this time. He was really great. Asked way more questions than the girl I had last time. He would explain everything he was measuring and point out all of my anatomy! I work in the histology department of the lab in the hospital (anything you get cut out or cut off of you comes to us!) so I'm kind of an anatomy nerd
I loved it! Our dates came back pretty much bang on to what what I was guestimating this time too! I thought I was 8w 1d and he said 8w 2d/3d. So Dec 2 or 3! Little Christmas elf
It was so amazing to watch the little gingerbread cookie bounce around in there. I think it all feels real now. It's a great feeling
Girl, get yourself a pretty chair! You SO deserve it! Costco often has really nice ones at decent prices. That was where we got our office chairs. It was SO lovely for all those hours I spent studying when I was going to school. Glad your new computer is working out so well for you. Macs are so fantastic. I could never go back to a PC!
Finding out is totally just as awesome as waiting - it's still a surprise either way!! Those gender reveal parties are pretty spiffy too. Where noone knows the gender until the card the tech wrote on is open or the cake is cut. If we were finding out, I would totally try to do something fun like that! Even if it was just for a few friends, it would be so fun!! I still think I might crack by the time 20 wks comes around. Our friends are pretty encouraging so far though to leave it a surprise (which really surprised me! I always egged my friends on to find out!). So we will see!
That's funny your pups went a week with no names. The baby name game is so exhausting! I am super picky (nothing too kooky, but nothing too boring/plain, must sound appropriate for a professional but also be personable or have a personable nickname, etc....). I used to always keep a secret list that I would update as I heard cool names, but now that this is all for real, most of the names I had all seem ridiculous or silly. I love that DH found the girl name Ellery. It's fresh, but not too "made up" sounding. To me, it sounds like an update of Emily or Eloise. I really really love Sawyer for a boy, but DH can't seem to come around to it. We seem to disagree on most boy names - hence our roving list haha. Either way, one lesson I have learned is keep your mouth shut on your name ideas to family and friends. We told my mom about Ellery and she instantly goes "Oh, like Smelly Ellie". Haha Gee, thanks mom!
Well it looks like you are going to have nice weather for your shoot tomorrow after all! Oh my gosh, I am so excited for some nice weather!
I think I might do the Wed yoga. But not this May 1 session. I will probably wait for the next one. I would hate to miss a class or two because we are out of town. The way my rotation works, I work every Thur so I know we will always be around Wed night!
Thank FREAKING god tomorrow is Friday! For having Wed off, this was a killer week on me
. I work Mon-Fri next week... I have no idea how I am going to cope haha Sometimes that one day off is almost worse. It's like a cruel half weekend! No big plans this weekend, probably just clean, read and relax. Maybe go look at some houses if anything decent come up (the market is crrrrazy right now). We are still in our condo we bought when we moved here three years ago. I'm thinking it might be time to move on up
Ok this is turning into a friggin novel!
Whoops!
Have yourself a wonderful Friday/Weekend!!
