So I had my first sonogram this past Monday. Can I say WOW? First of all, I was indeed further along than I thought, by about a week. So my due date is now August 3 instead of August 11. Secondly, it's all of the sudden become real. That's partly because I got to see my baby on the super-duper, hi tech, 4-D imaging system thingy. So instead of looking like a gummy bear, it actually looked like a baby. And I got to see it move! Actually, it moved a lot, which is going to be "fun" in another month and a half when I can start feeling it dancing around in there and using my vital organs as punching bags. In any case, I think that's the coolest thing that's ever happened to me to see my baby and to know that it is, in fact, a baby, not a blip on a gray radar.
Well, having that out of the way, I am feeling less like a zombie and more like a...well, mother, I guess.
But zombies are more fun and entertaining! Perhaps. Especially dancing zombies. Wait what? Bad ADD, bad! Yes, it's true, I am feeling better. I am actually getting some rest, and I can sort of eat. It's been brought to my attention that I've actually lost weight since I got pregnant, which isn't all that surprising. Not only have I been ill, but I've been trying to eat better when I can stomach more than crackers and ginger ale. I have started to expand, though. Which, fair enough. It's week ten, I guess it's time. And it's only going to get worse. Yay, hugeness! I have a long way to go.
