Pictures! Of... Stuff! :D
It's not that I haven't a lot to say lately, it's that I've had no desire to say it. I think it's mostly fatigue after all the traveling.
Let's see if I can give you the most recent highlights.
First, the third and possibly last ultrasound was yesterday. She managed to see at least the basics of the heart (that it had all four chambers, basically) and that at least was satisfactory. She also looked over the rest of him, right down to measuring amounts of liquid in the liver, and told us that everything looked well within the norm. But, of course, she reminded us that they couldn't see everything. I wonder if there's sometimes problems with new parents who get a sick child and then blame them for not being able to tell... I don't think anything is wrong with Kupo at all, he's certainly a healthy kicker (Maz finally managed to feel a kick a couple of days ago and now it seems that Kupo has given up on teasing because he's already been able to feel it 2-3 times since) and we don't really have any history of problems on either side of our families.
Anyway, here's a picture that had the doc aww'ing because Kupo has his hand up against his cheek:
Full size here.
At one point it also looked like he was sucking his thumb. So, yeah, bratling was really putting on a show. I think he'll be a true menace once he enters the world... I'm 24½ weeks along, so he should stay put for another 16 weeks. ;)
Second, a few years ago (five years, actually) I visited a couple of gals I met through the Buffy fandom in Wales for three weeks. Lovely women, both of them. They were sisters and I also met the rest of their family. So, I told them I was having a baby and they told their other sister, and she then proceeded to knit a cardigan for Kupo! I just received it today and it's so cute and tiny.
Full size here.
Maz was the one who came up with photographing it next to the lighter, as the universal measuring method. XD Kupo will be born in November, so he might actually get some use from it, in spite of the misgivings that one of them seemed to have that he'd grow out of it before we could blink. lol. At least we'll have to get a photo op from it. ^_^
And third, if you're sick of the baby talk... Last night I got an e-mail that I had inspired fan art, YAY! ScarletLady on deviantART wrote me that she loved my fics and had done some art 'in honor of me' ^_^ I absolutely love them! The whole dA embed thing doesn't really work well with my layout, but check these out:
Secret Seduction
Her Draco
Her Draco lineart
And do remember to comment on dA if you like them, there's not enough D/Hr fanart to go around. :)
Yeah, that's it... for now. I'm stressing a bit because coming back means that I zomg have that make-up exam I'll never get ready for and a ton of other stuff. I'll see about getting Bracelet started again tonight, though.
