Alright, here it is... I know that I told some of you that I would start posting baby stuff here after the first ultrasound. Well, as most of you have heard, we've had some family situations since then. So I'm a little late. Sorry. So without further ado.......introducing.......baby Weaver!!!!!
I know, your excited! And please don't worry about the dark spot on the head, apparently it's just artifact from the US machine. (I asked Dr. Ross about it at work and he told me not to be a spaz). Is that how you spell spaz? Anyway, I'm 11 weeks as of today (Wednesday) and the due date October 14th. We went to meet Dr. Dixon three weeks ago, he was really nice and funny so I think we will get along well. He said that everything looked wonderful. The baby was just the right size and it was even squirming around when he was doing the ultrasound. I actually left the good picture at my mom's house (oops) so these pics aren't the best. Dr. Dixon was trying to get a profile view but the baby, in complete Nick and Kristin fashion, was being both stubborn and tried to do the exact opposite of what he/she was told. What a lovely glimpse into our future! Maybe next time it will be more willing to cooperate and we will get to see a profile. I go to get another ultrasound on April 2nd to look for evidence of spinal cord and certain chromosomal abnormalities. It's an optional test so I was leaning toward not doing it but when I asked Dr. Dixon about it he said that since I already had the appointment scheduled, it's always fun to get another ultrasound. The next one in his office won't be until around 20 weeks (until then he will just check for a heartbeat with a doppler). So that is our super exciting news. I haven't really felt that sick at all. Just a little queasy if I don't eat every few hours. I've been pretty tired too but nothing like the complete exhaustion that I hear people describe. I think night shift prepared me for that because I'm tired all the time, pregnant or not! Hopefully I will follow in my mom's footsteps who apparently was a perfect pregnant person (obviously). Oh! and I have been taking a picture of my (nonexistant) belly for Katie to add to the chart she's making to see how fat I get. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow I'll post this weeks picture. Until then here's one of the proud parents to be (it's from last June but I just found it on the computer).
