Doctor, Intestines, Ultrasound, and Why I Hate My Birthday . . .
Doctor:
Monday was my first midwife appointment. It went good. Because of Nick being adopted, and my all consuming fear of fucking up my kid before they get here, we opted for all the extra tests. My midwife says I'm right on track for my due date.
We got to hear the heart beat. Man, that is such an impossible to describe feeling. You know its gonna be there, (at least you pray its gonna be there), and its still so amazing to hear!!!
Intestines:
Tuesday I started to feel crappy. Wednesday I was full on sick, again. I couldn't keep anything down, I was tired, I was a mess. Nick, the sweetheart that he is, called my midwife while I was napping and talked to her about my symptoms. It turns out a intestinal virus is going around, and the office I visited has been especially well-hit. She called in a prescription for me. I'm feeling a lot better. But it still sucks cuz I almost didnt go out for birthday dinner and Im not sure I can keep down something as sweet as cake yet. So, cake will have to wait til Im 100%
Ultrasound:
Wednesday was my ultrasound. Me, Nick and my dad went.
Goddess, the heartbeat was surreal enough, but SEEING the kid flippin' around inside of me was just plain indescribable. We got lots of cool pics. This is my favorite:
I have lots more, and I will share more when I go back in 6 weeks. Then my kid should look more like a kid, and less like a “lima bean” (in the words of my sister)
Why I Hate My Birthday:
~ 1775 : The American Revolution begins
~ 1824 : Lord Byron dies in Greece
~ 1861 : First blood in the Civil War; Baltimore Riots
~ 1865 : Lincoln's Funeral
~ 1876 : Wyatt Earp dropped from Wichita police force
~ 1902 : Earthquake rocks Guatemala
~ 1927 : Mae West jailed
~ 1943 : Warsaw Ghetto Uprising begins & ends
~ 1993 : Branch Davidian compound burns
~ 1995 : Truck bomb explodes in Oklahoma City; The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building explodes.
2007: Charlotte has intestinal virus, has a Trig exam, and gets pulled over on her way to dinner.
'nuff said.
