Went back in for the follow-up U/S. Everything looked great. The tech was able to see the heart more clearly, measure the femurs, kidneys, etc. Absolutely no problems.
The baby was sitting with his ankles crossed and the tech kept trying to make him move his legs around but he was having none of it and ignored her prodding (although Mommy's belly is a little sore and bruised today!)
He kept bringing his hand up to his face and twisting his head around but that is all the moving he did.
But speaking of moving, I am getting to where I can feel him moving and kicking much more regularly. He REALLY likes Dr. Pepper and goes nuts when I drink it. :)
I am also getting huge. People are now smiling at me and a few have even made comments. A little girl in the elevator at the doctor's office yesterday kept staring at my belly, then she said "My mommy is having a baby too." That was cute. :D
We went ahead and bought a new car last week. I knew it had to happen, since my car is a Jeep Wrangler. Not exactly easy to put a car seat into! So we added a Dodge Durango SUV to our collection. We kept the Jeep and Doug still has his truck, but at least now we have a baby-friendly car - with seating for 8! The best was that it was a "used" car because the dealership bought it at auction. So even though it only had 8 miles on it, it was considered used and we got it for about $14K under full price. Woohoo. The only bad part is now I have a car payment again. Sigh.
The baby's bag of "stuff" is getting pretty full too. There are about 6 or so outfits in there already, a very soft stuffed bear that someone gave me, 4 books that I got as a gift for the baby from a vendor we use, a couple of free sample diapers, and some really cute socks and hats. I hate to see how much stuff I'll have when the baby is actually here! :)
I think that is all that's going on now. I am SO very excited. I now feel very positive and optimistic that yes, I am going to be a mommy! I already love him SOOOOO much. :smileyh:
