Well would ya look at that! That there, in case you can’t tell, is a healthy wee baby. Complete with waving arms, even! And, of course, a beating heart. Thank GOODNESS. I had the jitters all morning long, but still stayed relatively calm throughout the appointment. Yes, even when I was getting my pap smear. I consider that to be a huge commentary on my character, don’t you? The ability to be calm and good-natured when poised in stirrups? It helps that my doctor is completely and totally cool.
I know Kile was holding his breath especially so we both felt considerably lighter after the ultrasound. Is there a chance that something could still go wrong? Of course. Been there, done that. BUT, the chances are pretty low. And that’s all I’ve got right now, is chances. And imagine my surprise when the doctor dated the pregnancy three days ahead of the date I was figuring! Of course, I was pretty close, but if there’s going to be a difference, isn’t it better be further along than you though than further behind? So my due date is now officially April 8, 2008. Not too bad. That makes me 10 weeks and 2 days today and well into my “third month”. That sounds silly to say, for some reason but there you have it.
Does this mean I can wear maternity clothes now without feeling too silly?

A spring birth, for some reason that just seems so fitting for you. I can’t explain why, maybe because the other pregnancies were hard and full of worry and this one seems to be easy . Kinda like you have been through the winter. Now, Kile needs to buy you a mother’s ring or at least a pendant to wear on a chain to celebrate this life. April’s birthstone is a diamond…. Congrats again! The little one looks beautiful in the first picture, can’t wait to see more pictures.
