On Thursday, we had the ultrasound to find out what we are having. The Baby Lack (BL) looks healthy and was pretty active. We were able to see it's precious feet and hands, arms and legs, a frontal view of the face, the spine and a healthy heart. Praise God!
We have been really pleased with the new OB practice that we switched to. This practice is a little bit smaller than the other one (4 doctors vs. 8) and it's much, much closer to the house (within 1.5 miles). I really had been anxious the entire week, not necessarily about finding out the sex, but more so finding out if the baby was growing healthy. I'm sure most pregnant moms experience these concerns, but the ultrasound is the true confirmation that things look good. On Thursday, I got home a little before the appointment and Chris was sleeping since he is currently on night shift. I decided to lay on the sofa for a minute to say a prayer for Baby Lack (and my anxiety) and fell asleep. What in the world was I thinking? There has never been a time in my life that I haven't fallen asleep even within a few seconds of laying down on the sofa. Next thing I knew, Chris was waking me up just minutes before our appointment. Whew-good thing it's so close! Anyway, we made it about 5 minutes late. How could we have gone to NY and not known. ;)
BL currently weighs 10oz. and so far I have gained 4lbs., although that actually feels more like 10. I wore some black maternity pants for the first time this week to work and it felt so nice! I look forward to the weekends much more than before because I can wear a comfortable cotton skirt and be totally comfortable instead of trying to squeeze into my suits, although the belly band has been a big help.
On a side note: Thanks to the friends that tuned into the Today show on Saturday to look for us, but we will be on the 26th.
