Well, I FINALLY know who’s in here!!

The ultrasound went great. This was the first 3D/4D one I have ever had. I really wish I had this done with Thing 1. It was so cool! S/he was hiding his/her face for the longest time but we finally saw that too. S/he sucked his/her thumb the entire time.

Is it driving you batty that I haven’t said anything yet? I have a lot more pics on my blog but below is the money shot with a really big hint – Know what s/he is?

I am stunned! I was convinced it was a girl so it goes to show that instinct isn’t always right. Thing 1 is going to have a brother!!! Oh boy, I am soooooooooooo going to have my hands full if Thing 2 is even remotely as busy as Thing 1!!

Typical Hubby, the first thing he said was “Thank god, I was so scared we’d need to buy new clothes!“

Here are a few more Ultrasound shots;

I’m starting to get a wee bit of a belly now. Nothing big but something anyway. I still think I was bigger at 7 & 12 weeks but clearly that had to have been bloating.

Movement has been starting to increase too. It’s finally more than flutters. It still isn’t as strong as Thing 1 but strong enough to make me happy. Hubby has felt it too (he thinks).

Our neighbour said to Hubby yesterday that a couple days ago you would never even have guessed I was pregnant but then yesterday there was no mistaking it. I think I needed to hear that. Even though I am still pretty small it is so comforting to know I look pregnant now to at least somebody.

I also felt something. It wasn’t significant but it was more than flutters. It was a busy day for Thing 2. It all helps to make me finally feel actually pregnant and let me enjoy it instead of just feeling sick and depressed about feeling sick.

Speaking of sick – I am getting my third cold in the past 6 weeks. It’s summer for cripes sakes, I thought colds were just for spring & fall? Oh well. I’m a wimpy sick person but it’s a good thing that my body is more preoccupied with growing Thing 2 instead of fighting illness.

A BIG HUGE GIANT SIGH OF RELIEF!

So after a night of totally freaking out I feel better. We were apologized to by Doctor Useless for the freakout. I completely get why they called us in as it is something, but compared to what was going through our minds it’s nothing. They still should have told me over the phone at very least that Thing 2 was fine. I have mild Placenta Previa that will be monitored. Since there has been no spotting I can continue as I do now.

Whomever said that any pregnancy after having a healthy child would be a lot more relaxed is a BIG FAT LIAR!! I’ve been worried about size and now I have a whole new worry…

So the phone rings at 8am on a Monday Morning. I notice it’s from Doctor Useless’s office and I figure it was probably about Thing 1′s appointment to check his hearing to see if that’s causing his speech delay (which by the way is improving). I roll my eyes knowing his hearing is fine and answer the phone. Boy was I wrong!! These were the exact words “This is Doctor Z’s Nurse. We urgently need you and your husband to come in to discuss the latest Obstetrical Ultrasound, the earliest we can squeeze you in is Thursday at 10am is that ok for you?“. So I ask if they an tell me ANYTHING over the phone and they won’t. I ask if I can get in sooner and no. So I call Hubby in a panic. Hubby managed to get us in sooner when he called this afternoon so now we go in tomorrow at 3:30pm. I guess that is just the joy of the Canadian healthcare system. We may not have to pay for our treatment but that combined with our country’s Doctor shortage doesn’t get you in very fast no matter how urgent it is. Now I’m left sitting here freaking out completely!! Do these people not have a heart?

The next 24 hours I am going to be a total mess. Hubby is freaking too and generally freaks even worse than me since I am the rock of our relationship when it comes to stuff like this, so tonight should be interesting. ACKKKK!!! THIS SUCKS!!!

This could be something so minor or it could be something so big. Whatever it is I can handle (I think) but I just need to know, you know?
