OMG baby update!!!!! →[More:]Recent update is down at the bottom of that page, including the most recent ultrasound pic - mrs. tr33 says baby has my nose. :)
Sooooo, Friday was our second ultrasound. This was to be the biggie, at which we expected to learn what sort of baby we're having in June.
Good news is that everything appears to be going very well. All the important parts are there - legs, arms, hands, fingers, toes, brain, kidneys, and we saw the heart beating. So cool!!
Baby wasn't entirely cooperative though. She was moving around, but kept her feet tucked up by her rear. Soooo, the sono tech wouldn't document it, but said she was PRETTY sure we'd be having a little girl. That's what we're banking on anyway!!
Mrs. tr33 has been feeling her move for about a month, but just in the past week or so I've felt her as well. The past few days it's become very noticeable - a kick instead of a flutter. Awesome, just awesome.
We're starting to build a collection of baby clothes, and already have many of the essentials as hand-me-downs from family (car seats, crib, strollers, johnny-jump-ups, etc.). I put together a dresser/changing table, and last weekend we bought our first installment of diapers and wipes - trying to stock up a little at a time so we've got a stockpile ready when the day is here.
I've been going through periods of glee followed by periods of freaking out, but am mainly trying to get as much of the house ready as possible while working on reducing my anxiety levels (I get kinda freaked out about little things really easy, and that's gotta stop; thinking about trying some meditation exercises . . .).
Anyway, all is well! We're super excited!
