Ultrasound

This morning, I went for my thorough ultrasound check. Fingers and toes all accounted for, heart chambers, lungs, brain, etc. The sonographer and my OB knows the gender hehehe! But we asked them not to tell us. We had to look away while the gender was being checked. Ah so exciting! There is fun in analyzing those black and white images if a 'dingdong' would show or otherwise, but we can wait until it's due time. We are very patient hahaha!

Note, I gained 8lbs so far...

I am very happy the husband obliged to come with me. I want him to enjoy the scan especially now that the baby is big enough, 14 oz at that. He missed my previous scans because I was in Cebu and the very first one was at the emergency room.

Everything has been very wonderful! I was baby giddy and decided we trooped to our neighborhood Babies R Us store because they have a clearance sale this week. We got an infant car seat, stroller, playpen mattress and linens, baby detergent, nursing bras and a supposedly belly belt but I carelessly got the postpartum belt! I have to decide which breastpump to get -- Avent or Medela? (Any thoughts?)

Now, I am on my nesting spree washing all the linens and folding the mountain-ful of loads unkempt since I don't know. I think I am going to throw them into the dryer again, that should save me some time un-creasing them with an iron (because I suck at it). Yes, I am not gifted in the laundry department -- washing, folding, sewing, ironing -- I admit!

I have to get this house ready for the little one while I am still having bursts of energy. They say that the second trimester is the golden stage of pregnancy, might be for me save for this nasty hip pain (which I will discuss with a chiropractor, should I really go see one?). I have to wash the playpen mesh, the crib linens and bumpers, the baby clothes, and sanitize the baby toys. I think it will still be sanitized enough until Spring. One amazing fact about Colorado is that we barely gather dust.

I blabber and blabber, it's our monthsarry today! One more month and we'll be celebrating our sixth year as a married couple hurray! Second baby on the way as a trophy LOL!
