i'm not sure why i titled this post the way i did.
it came to me.
suddenly
and i'm sitting on our new holiday flannel bedsheets (i love green and red and cream!) making some special christmas gifts and thinking about my tender mercies of today.
today
i went to my midwife prenatal checkup
WANNA SEE THE PICTURES?!
i discussed some random things i had questions about that you don't want to know.
and then the midwife put a microphoney thingy to my belly and poked around and around and around and it took forever to find the heartbeat and i was holding my breath because i was scared that the baby was gone and then there it was fluttering out loud and i almost started crying because i was so relieved!
holy mamma!
and then the midwife said "you are showing really early, and very high up... i wonder if you have twins and we just didn't catch it"
which almost sent me into another flurry of tears and freaking out.
so, i (lucky girl that i am) got to have an ultrasound! (i love these) (well, the outside ones...) they squirt your belly with blue stuff and rub it all over with this magical wand that can see inside your insides! and it took her a few minutes to get the picture of baby because 1. baby was mad that she was pushing on it 2. baby was FLYING ALL OVER MY BELLY! it was so incredible to see this little person that brandon and i made inside my stomach flipping around, kicking it's legs,grabbing it's face and toes, wiggling it's arms and it's fingers and i started laughing so hard because
baby is just like brandon and me already!
and laughing doesn't make it easy for the midwife to keep the picture on the screen,
and baby wasn't making it easy either.
the nurse was getting pretty agitated.
but i couldn't stop laughing!
it's incredible! peanut went from being 2.5 cm to 12 cm in such a short time! i',m already 1/3 done with this pregnancy craziness!
everything has gone by so fast.
in conclusion,
i love ultrasounds
i am in LOVE with our baby already,
and i need to control myself next ultrasound so i don't miss a single fliparoo, or swimming or wiggling fingers or anything next time!
i can't believe how alive he/she is already.
that explains my tummy feeling like it's on a ship all the time... :]
it's worth it!
i love you peanut.
