:: I got an ultrasound today! At 11 weeks! (No, no twins..) ::

Hello all,
I suppose I need to recap the past week. To start, I had an uneventful drive to and from Virginia, aside from some heavy rain in Charlotte. I probably almost got in a wreck at least once but I don't remember the specifics. I usually almost get in a wreck at least once on road trips, and I think of all the trips I've taken it's been my fault once.

The hardest part of the visit was finding somewhere for Alice to sleep. We did not sleep well with her in my bed, she kept waking up and wanting to nurse. We tried her sleeping in Sarah's room for a couple nights, that worked for me and Alice but Sarah wasn't sleeping well. I tried getting her to sleep in Johnny's room, where my bed was set up, and me sleeping on the couch, but he wouldn't stop playing on the computer long enough for her to get to sleep. Oh well...I visited the Lees while I was there, they were very happy to see us. It's too bad Andrew couldn't come. Overall I didn't do much while I was there, just spent some time with the family. We watched a season of Scrubs, I'd never seen it before. It was alright, better than most shows on tv, but I really prefer Arrested Development.

I finished only two knit things for work, I'm not sure why I didn't do more. I'm trying to get another one done before I 'report' to my boss. It's slow going, I'm not sure why.

Today was Alice's wellness visit, she's pretty well still. :) Nothing wrong with her, still never been sick. (It's the breastmilk and lack of daycare.) It was also my first OB/ pregnancy visit, that went well too. I didn't have to pee in a cup, I'm not sure why...the only thing that really happened, was that I got my due date confirmed. And the method used also confirmed there's only one baby in there, cause I got an ultrasound! Yay! They have it on hand for physical therapy but my midwife swiped it and measured my baby from crown to rump. I have no idea what that measurement was but it said I'm right on for my estimated due date, April Fool's Day. I always get interesting due dates! But of course I expect to be exactly one week overdue. I didn't get to hear the baby's heartbeat but I got to SEE it beat and the baby wriggle around. Hallelujah.

Nothing much going on else, just trying to knit and eat enough so I'm not so starving I feel like puking every 3 hours. I went grocery shopping and got only a couple frozen meals, I mostly got fresh fruits and veggies and some canned goods. I've been eating frozen Stouffer's for awhile. Yummy but tiring and probably kinda fatty. I'm regaining some energy and with it, motivation to cook more than frozen taquitos and chimichangas. Which are definitely fatty. Also got some jalapenos and pintos to make my own hot bean dip, I wouldn't say I'm craving it but you can't find Fritos Hot Bean Dip ANYWHERE down here. I'm lucky I can find corn tortillas, cause the flour ones are crap. Who's got a good flour tortilla recipe?

Hello Kiddo, Glad to hear you're doing better and both of you got a good report from the doctors. I'm sure you really don't want twins but would take them if God gave them. It would be a difficult pregnancy and lots of work afterwards, with no real support group for you there. I hope to get to be with you in April!

Looking forward to our visit in Oct!!!

Mom
