Friday morning The Knight went with me for my 12 week appointment (that's when the ultrasound pictures were taken). We went to see ultrasound first, and then on to Dr. G. The ultrasound tech was a very sweet lady, and she was pretty funny too. Squirt was very, very low in my tummy...so a bit diffifult to find at first. Squirt's heartbeat was beating at nearly 180 beats per minute, and she was moving SO fast! Side Note: I'll likely refer to Squirt as a "she" since that's all I know and that's what I'm use to:) She was also a wiggle worm, moving constantly!!! At this point she's about the size of a peach, about 2.5-3 inches long. It's simply amazing to see this little baby moving so much. She was kicking her legs and even rubbed her face with her hands...simply adorable! What a miracle that is happening within me...it's so exciting! We met with Dr. G and got an A+ on the pregnancy, confirmed where I'd be delivering, then we were out to meet with the finance representative. You know, there always seems to be money involved. I was asked to sign alot of forms, and go ahead and preregister at the hospital on-line. During this meeting I was asked about having my tubes tied and after taking a very deep breath I said "yes". I am 100% confident that this is the right decision for us...two beautiful children will be more than enough to make us one big happy family...but the decision and the signature were still very intense! It's just a hard decision, no matter how sure you are. After we left the appointments we went to lunch and then both, and the same time, announced our excitement to the world of Facebook!!! What a techy world we live in=)
Another exciting thing has happened this week...Lil P has been moved up to an older classroom! She has adjusted very nicely, and is really doing well in the new class. She appears to be sleeping a bit longer during her school nap, and she must be playing harder because she comes home and is starving. She's just started saying "eat" and doing the baby sign language for "eat". Let me just tell you...that's a life saver! No longer do we have to guess what's wrong, she tells us. What a fantastic milestone this is!!! Tommorrow Lil P will announce to her daycare teachers that she's going to be a big sis by wearing an awesome shirt that says "I'm going to be..." on the front and "Big Sis" on the back...it's adorable! We'll try to capture pictures tomrrow of Lil P in her new shirt!
That's it for now, stay warm and have a great Sunday!
