Well hello, as I TRY to attempt to write this for the 5th time, now in word, I am about to send the dumb computer into orbit ! I don’t know why that for the past 4 times I press preview, it erases everything that I wrote. Sooooooo, I am now going to do things this way, instead of the old way, if that don’t work I will solely stick to using myspace, I guess. Today was pretty frustrating because of that really; I am not patient when it comes to this ‘puter thing and when I sit here for a bit of time I get aggravated when it erases all that I just worked on - not once, but 4 times.
Soooo, anyway … YESTERDAY was pretty good, all except the “OMG I gotta friggin’ pee so bad part that is ! The technician we had for the ultrasound was absolutely awesome, her and I got along really well. I of course had to ask my ba-gillon questions for everything known to man and it was cool because she took the time to try to answer all of them. Wow, I would have missed a lot if I hadn’t asked ! After she was done taking all the measurements that she needed of the baby she took the time to show us everything that she could. She said baby weighs just about 15 ounces right now and then she showed us the baby’s kidney’s, bladder, stomach, developing lungs – while she continues to hold the “wand” still for a few moments on my belly, we got to see the baby’s heart pumping the blood through all 4 chambers and the vessels of the brain too. She showed us the cerebellum of the brain and we got to see the baby, turn and kick it’s little legs … we even got to watch the baby swallow a couple times and suck on it’s fingers too. Of course I know you’re wondering if we got to see the sex of the baby and that is an astounding YES, however we are not sure yet if we are telling anyone as of yet, or if we want it to be a surprise. It is good to know though, just in case to buy clothes and prepare, etc, but it does take the element of surprise at the end away, which apparently my family likes. I had never had a technician so nice with the other kids’ ultrasounds and thought that this was absolutely awesome to watch ! However like I said, I was NEVER so glad to go pee in all my life ! :O)
Every time the technician would try to take a good shot of the baby’s face though, it would turn or put its little hands up in front of it, so these are the few shots that we got. … The first one here is quite a clear shot of the baby. If you look closely, you can see that the right arm is up by the ear (elbow by nose), its knees are pulled up by the chin and you can see the eyes and ears as well.
The second picture is my favorite one, my husband and I call it the prayer one, because it looks like it is praying. You can see the cheek, right eye –which is closed, ear and hands. The right hand is near the mouth and the left hand is more in the “air”. If you look closely, you can tell that the left ring finger has a fingernail, wow I thought that was so neat !
As far as my pregnancy goes so far, I have been feeling pretty well – all with the exception of my allergies of course ! So, I am not complaining. I am still craving cheese from time to time – a fact which I still think is odd and there have been a few times that I have craved something really sweet like Skittles, but that isn’t many. I haven’t had very many nauseous or heartburn times which is always good, so I am happy about that. My belly is getting bigger, so I had to finally go get new clothes. The baby kicks around a lot now … sometimes it is small movements, while other times it is quite intense. I like it most the time, but yet it is still small. The part I didn’t like with my others is when it would lie up into my lungs and it would be hard for me to even get a breath.
I explained to the doctor on Friday that I was having some “needle” like pains where the scar is from my C-Section with Cameron. I didn’t know if it was normal to have those or not, but he said it was ok or it could be the ligaments causing “stitch” like pains. I am still not sure whether or not I actually want to do another c-section or not yet, It means changing doctors because mine here does not do v-bac births. (vaginal birth after caesarean) I realllllllly, really like my doctor here a lot – however since I hated having the c-sec done so much I am really leaning towards going to another doctor or place to deliver. I know with Cameron it was the worst thing ever, it was an emergency c-sec and I cried for days over having it done, even though I know it had to be. My family was treated like crap at the hospital and I felt like I was put to slaughter on a table with my guts out for all to see …seriously ! So, needless to say I am NOT looking forward to doing that again anytime soon ! Hard decision here … GAH !
Well, I had intended for my blog to contain some more info on how the baby grows from week 20-21, but if I get it even up this far it will be a small miracle ! Atleast though, this time I saved it and I’m in a much better mood !
Thank you dearest Adam for taking us all to the park then to dinner this evening, between my allergies, the kids being bored and the computer today, I was really to run away ! I know everyone has days like that, no one is perfect, I just hate when they come !
So hopefully, I can get this up to share with all of you (I'm praying) … I hope that you all have a great evening !
TAMMIE :o)
p.s. Thank You also to Mel for the help ! :O)
