ob appointment

yesterday i had an appointment with my ob and an ultrasound. everything looks good, i thought i was going to get to hear the heartbeat but that won't be until the next appointment i found out. the ultrasound was good, they could see a strong heartbeat and it was flipping around in there like it was doing under water acrobatics.

i scanned the ultrasound pictures into the computer to post here they are almost all black and you can't see anything. so i'm not going to bother posting them.

my next appointment is 3/23 and then i have the 'big' ultrasound on 4/3 and that is when they can tell if it's a boy or a girl but i don't want to find out.

oh yeah and i have another due date now, this one is 8/26.

nursery set

hey i am going to post the link to target.com for the nursery set that we like. i have the crib set which is the bumper, a fitted sheet, and a blanket. i know it's a bit early to register or anything like that but this pattern is on clearance on i don't know how long it will last.

stinko rides again

even though my nausea has subsided my super nose has not therefore stinko is still a problem. (for those of you who don't know stinko is a "woman" who works at the research center who is roughly the size of a rhino who apparently feels that dousing yourself with f.d.s. is an acceptable substitute for bathing. ) she is back with avengence today and has fumigated my office several times. my current method for dealing with this is to wear a possibly excessive amount of patchouli in hopes that my hippie stink will conquer her nasty stink though it is only marginally sucessful... so if i'm in your thoughts do me a favor and start crossing your fingers that it decides to retire so that i don't end up pelting her with soap and deodorant.

pee rant

yesterday i had go to a lab and give my blood and urine sample as part of my first appointment and in the span of three hours the lab lost my urine sample. i was like are you effing kidding me what did you do with my pee?! i had to go back in today and do it again and they people working there were totally rude about it and they never even apologized or anything.

speaking of the whole urine sample business, i get that i'm going to have to do it a lot but what i didn't expect was that my ob/gyn office would give me a cup and a bag so that i have to bring it in with me for each appointment. so i get to carry my pee around in my purse. yeah!

appointment update

i just had an appointment this afternoon, it was previously scheduled for the 9th but the had to change it. anyway, it was just informational - they take your health history, a urine sample, and five vials of blood and give you a bunch of brochures and things to read and send you on your merry way.

so nothing exciting at the doctor's but i did find out that i have only gained one pound so far which is lucky considering i've been totally pigging out lately. and speaking of pigging out i stopped at 'the net' on my way back to work and found that a hot fudge milkshake is an acceptable substitute for steak-n-shake.

started exercising again too, thirty minutes of pilates last night - yeah!
