Days -vs- Nights

I just got some GREAT news. With all of the new hires we have had recently, I get to move some of my night weekends to days. I only have to work 1 night weekend every 12 weekends! I am so excited I actually jumped up and down at work.

Interesting Observations

Interesting Observation #1:

Can you tell what is out of place in a refrigerator?

Yep you guessed it-The biohazard bag. Just so you know, I was instructed to do this it was not my idea!

Interesting Observation #2:

On Thursday as I was looking in the mirror, I noticed a little bump and for the first time I actually realized it was the baby. I have been noticing that my stomach isn't as flat as it was before, but I was looking for a baby lower than where my bump was. I thought that I was just gaining weight because I had been eating so much. Then I realized 5.5lbs of fat would not look like this :)

16 Weeks




Interesting Observation #3

I wonder what my dolphin will look like in 15 weeks? I promise this will be the first and last actual bare stomach picture that you will have to endure :)

Interesting Observation #4

There is just something magical about a heartbeat!

Little project.... big tool kit.

This week, Brian purchased a wireless mouse to go with his school computer. As he was trying to get it to work, I thought it looked incredibly humorous.

All of that work just to get batteries into the little mouse.

Baby

Here is an update, as I am sure everyone reading this already knows that a baby is on the way!

I had what should have been my first OB appt in the end of December. My blood work is all good and it is now on the books that have a blood type of A neg. Rhogam here I come! Maybe it will work out like it did for my Mom. 4 A neg babies and one A pos father, we definitely beat the odds there!

The baby's heartbeat was easy to find and was 168 at 12 weeks which is good. I don't know if that says anything about gender, but I have 2 sisters and a friend that are convinced it is a girl. Actually my friend, Anna, had a dream that she could see the baby through my stomach and that it is a girl! On the flip side, everyone that works in Microbiology has had a boy first. Apparantly this trend has held true for over 30 years. I wonder if I will break it? We will have to wait until July to find out!

Here is an ultrasound pic from my 7 week ultrasound. For those of you that don't know, there was some bleeding so I had 2 ultrasounds by week 10. Everything is fine though.

Brian was so excited that the baby was going to have a tail... I really had to break it to him that it goes away in the 8-9 week. In this photo you can also see the yolk sac on the bottom. That was a surprise to me, I hadn't read anything about that. I guess we are more like chickens than I thought!

I guess I will get my practice peeing in a cup as I will have to do it at every appt! Not very good at it now, but I guess practice makes perfect! :)
