OMG.

How the HELL am I going to squeeze that out?

He weighs 15 oz now, 8 more than my last visit. He has a swollen right kidney, which the doctor told us is common in boys. It has to do with their urethra being smaller, and sometimes urine takes a little longer to get out. I have another ultrasound in 8 weeks, and they'll see how that's coming along. Other than that, everything is going really well. My health is good, my blood pressure is, to quote the doctor, "beautiful," and I've actually lost a few pounds.

I figure that'll catch up with me sooner or later.

And I think I felt a flutter today. So weird. Maybe it was gas. I'm not really sure. :p

Wow, that's a head... I like how it's typed "PROFILE" on the scan. "You mean it's not flat like this?!"

Dude. I wish.

Birth scares me. It didn't before, but the hugeness of the head (pronounced "HAID") scares the beegeebus out of me.

Just wait until you show up at Lamaze class and they give you a 10cm circle for your nametag... :) My mom described it as "like shitting a watermelon", and that is indeed what it felt like.

There is a downside to being flat. It would be sharp.

Yeah, you know, watching you go through it... I always figured I'd have one child, but I'll see how you turn out... They women forget the pain of birth and go on to have more kids, but there has to be exceptions to that rule!

And my mom told me that when she had me, my head got stuck and I wouldn't budge, until the doctor got fed up and yelled "FORCEPS!" and I sure had dents in my head. I don't think they do that anymore though...

You need an icon of the ultrasound with "HAID" on it.
