Ultrasound Update

We had our twenty week appointment this morning, which included an ultrasound. I love it when Josh is able to make it to my appointments with me, even though I know hospital settings give him the heebie jeebies. And he kept cracking me up while we were in the waiting room. For example, he looked at a very pregnant woman across the room and said, "Wow, she must be ready to pop any minute...her belly button is sticking out!" I laughed so hard that I thought I was going to pee my pants. He also admitted to me that he would be scared to death if he was me. I asked why and he said, "I wouldn't want to birth a baby if I were you. It sounds awful!"

I couldn't believe how long we were in there for the ultrasound. They were very meticulous about finding all of her parts and making sure everything looked good, which was the first twenty minutes of the ultrasound. After she finally finished, the fun part of the ultrasound started, where we got to see Gracie in 3D4D mode. And this is what our silly daughter was doing the whole time.



Josh and I couldn't stop laughing at how she was sitting. It was so incredible to get a peek into what her personality may be like. We also confirmed that Gracie is still a girl, which is great! The ultrasound was wonderful, but my stomach is hurting so badly this evening. Here's a video of our little gymnast. :)



Josh finally got to meet Susan Myers and his first reaction was, "She looks younger than me!" But, I could tell he was more comfortable with her than Dr. Chandler, so I couldn't be happier. My blood pressure was normal and I lost two and half pounds! Once again, Susan asked me if I was eating and there is no doubt in the world that I'm eating for two. I was so surprised when I saw that I had lost weight. I'll probably be eating my words (no pun intended) when I do finally start gaining the weight and keeping it. I also found out that I have to do my gestational diabetes test early to check on my thyroid levels, so I have to get it done between now and my next appointment on February 13th. I've heard good and bad stories about the mystery liquid that is the diabetes test. We shall see...I may try to knock out the test in the next few days.

In other good news, we got Gracie a crib today! It matches the changing table and it's completely perfect. :)
