Tummy Pics

People at work are starting to come up to me and say, "Ooh, you're starting to show!" So that tells me it's time to post a picture for everyone to see. I will be 15 weeks this Sunday and things are still great. I'm going to post 2 pictures...I'm not sure which one's more accurate. Somehow I'm able to make myself look bigger or smaller, so I'm not sure which one I look like most often!

Little side story: Today was our 100th day of school. We always have a celebration and do fun activities (for anyone that didn't realize this was a big deal!). This afternoon, two students from one of the first grade classrooms brought me a book their class had made: "100 Names for Mrs. Magan's Baby." They had a pink page with 50 girls' names and a blue page with 50 boys' names. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever and definitely something to treasure forever!

I've Finally Seen the Doctor :)

This first part is for my "favorite" brother-in-law, Jason (and anyone else that doesn't like details): Dr. officially choosing 7/27 as due date; everything looks good; we'll find out what the gender is March 12. :)

As you've just read, my doctor is officially choosing July 27 as the due date because it was over a week off of the other date. She says that everything looks good, and all of the blood tests that I had last time came back fine. Unfortunately for Ryan, I'm not immune to toxoplasmosis so cleaning the kitty litter is officially his job until the end of July (he's been having to do it since I found out at my last appt. that I definitely shouldn't be exposed to it and he doesn't like it!).

I have set up the date for my next sonogram (the one where I get to find out what it is!!) on March 12. I might explode with anticipation before then, but at least I have a real date!! Also, we got to have an impromtu sonogram today in the doctor's office, on sort of a "mini" sonogram machine (it sorta looked like a laptop!). She was using whatever the thing is to listen to the baby's heartbeat. She tried for a few minutes, and then said she'd do it again after she finished the rest of the examination. So, she tries again and still couldn't get the heartbeat (apparently we have a stubborn child!!) so she had the nurse go get their sonogram machine. The cool thing about having this sonogram was that the baby actually looks like a baby now!! It's progressed from a grain of rice! She was able to show us the head and body (and where the heart was beating...so everything's fine!) which was so neat!!

I'm now 12 weeks along and things are still going great! :) Next appointment is February 13. :)

No news yet :(

In case you're keeping up with my blog, I had said that I would be having a doctor's appointment yesterday. However, I got a phone call from my doctor's office and the appointment was canceled because my doctor had a family emergency. But I've been rescheduled for January 15. :)
