ok, so time slipped away
a list of things that are happening/have happened:
1. we had our big ultrasound on December 2. the one where you have to drink your weight in water and not pee for 2 hours. our technician was this absolutely lovely woman, who clearly loved her job, and explained everything to us while she counted the sections of the umbilical cord, the chambers of the heart, the sections of the brain, the kidneys, bladder, etc. she and andy chatted the whole time, while i lay there, trying to stay interested, fearing i would pee my pants. when it was over, i ran down the hall to the bathroom barefoot, clutching the back of the gown.
2. three days later, we heard that everything is a-ok with the little nameless boy in my stomach.
3. about a week after that, i was in the bathtub. the water no longer covers my tummy, which i think is funny. while i was looking at it - thump! it moved! not the baby, the tummy! it jumped! (so yes, it was the baby, but still). the first thing it reminded me of is boiling water. or, you know, aliens.
4. the new catchphrase at work is, "wow, you really look pregnant today." i guess i can be thankful for the placement of the "really".
5. did i mention still no name? still no name.
6. three more days, and then i'm on vacation for a week and a half.
7. that grant i wrote about weeks back? we got it!
8. things have been very stressful. i'm trying not to concentrate on the stressful, but i'm a worrier by nature, and its hard, because then i start worrying that i'm worrying too much.
9. holiday shopping = done. note to amy and nicole: that said shopping, not shipping. my hope is to get to the usps manana.
ok, nine is good. more later.
