We started today with a VERY early morning. The only time we could get in for our ultrasound was at 7 am. Hum. AND, I wasn’t allowed to pee beforehand. Apparently, at this early in the game, it’s easier to see the baby with a full bladder. And I was congratulated on just how full I got that bladder. Haha. But anyway. So yeah! Ultrasound! FREE ultrasound! John and I decided to participate in a study that requires me to take vitamin C and vitamin E- and gives me free ultrasounds etc. And it was so much fun! The guy was so nice- he took his time and explained all kinds of things to us (apparently I have a tilted uterus which means it’ll take longer for me to feel the baby kick, and then I’ll probably feel it in the back) and showed us the heart beating and let us listen to it. We saw the baby kicking around in there- all hyper and carefree. It made me hold my breath. I can’t believe that there is a real person in there! I mean, right now, kind of a webby/arm buddy kind of person, but a person! And I’m growing it! They recorded the entire thing on a VHS tape for us (which was awesome to watch again this afternoon after work) and we got three pictures. This is one of them. They all kind of look the same. Grey blob baby. Left = head area Right = butt area.
I really really have to find a way to tell people at work that I’m going to have a baby. It’s hard because first of all- it just feels private. A friends and family type piece of information. I guess it’s that New Englander in me coming out. But then again- I’m going to keep expanding. I’ve gotta fess up sometime. But here’s the thing- if I could make it through the last month without anyone guessing (that’s saying they’re not guessing) then it should really not affect my work. At all.
In other news- I talked to my boss about school today. She’s supportive of my night class during the summer, even if it means I have to leave work at 4 or 4:30 once a week. So that’s good news. Just gotta finish up this science class….
