Hi from PeanutLand!

July 15

Had my first official appointment (8 week) with Dr. Murahata, my OBGYN, today. We did the first ultrasound and it was so exciting!

There is nothing like seeing that little peanutty shape on the monitor…and even better, watching the little flutter of the heart as it beats a mile a minute. I started crying when I saw it (big surprise there!)

Hi Peanut!! *waves* That is so cute what the tech typed on the ultrasound! :D

Isn't that darling? It made Mr. Fantastic laugh.

*waves* O that's awesome - you're doctor's name sounds like Muhhahahah! Also, do you use benzoil (sp?) for acne? You may want to try something gentler, like salic acid. I am pro-salic acid and anti-benzo because I'm allergic to benzo, so maybe it isn't actually gentler. Check with doctor evil-laugh, I mean, Dr. Murahata.

LOL! Somebody else told me her name means something like "big hat" in Irish.

I don't typically use anything on my skin but a daily cleanser and a light moisturizer with SPF - I've always had clear skin and never did anything special to it. However, one of my books mentioned adding baking soda to my daily cleanser - it acts as a mild scrub plus helps restore the pH balance or something - so I've been doing that and my skin seems a lot better now. This could just be due to things changing now that I've entered my second trimester, though.

Oh he or she is already so cute - like a pixie with a little nutritional friend *G*.

And yeh, you might as well buy more digital cameras and albums and frames now, because speaking from experience...all we do is take pictures. I have gone through 27 exposures in one babysitting day...during the first two hours.

I think s/he looks like he's saying his bedtime prayers. Hee!

Oh, I hadn't even thought about that! Time to buy some new memory sticks!
