Today marks week 16 of being pregnant. To follow up on Wednesday's appointment, we dropped John off in the early morn to his appointment and Debbie and I went to Group Health for mine. Once in the room, all the routine checks were done and we were lucky enough to get an ultrasound. As soon as she placed the joystick on my belly, I saw legs doing a bicycling motion. It was amazing! She moved it around and we could get a good look at this big baby in there. I couldn't believe it wasn't a gummy bear/teddy graham anymore. It was laying there with its big brainy head on the left side and was quite active, moving legs and arms around. Debbie pointed out the spine, ribs and heart too. It was an incredible vision. I still don't feel very pregnant and I don't look it either. I know it is a matter of time before I'm rounded out, so I'm not feeling at all anxious about it.
Last night John and I went to Lillie's wedding and had a great time. Lillie looked gorgeous and the general theme of the wedding was "peacock" in an ultra-classy way. It was really nice to start the new year/decade off with her celebration. We got home from Tacoma at like 1:20am and I felt like death and slept like death. All day today I've been napping and I must admit, it felt pretty good.
Next big task on my agenda: Tell work that I'm pregnant. Not looking forward to it even though I'm sure it's going to be fine. If a women's empowerment organization has issues with my pregnancy, there's obviously something wrong with that picture.
Oh, so ultimately, we didn't find out the gender on Wednesday. The machine was "too old" and it was a side view of the baby- a guess really wasn't feasible. My next appointment will be January 19th- THAT'S when we'll know the correct pronoun for the air biker in my abdomen. I can't wait until I start feeling the motion of this baby cross-training down there, joyous.
