Guess what, guys?

Oh my god, I can't believe I've been so preoccupied that it took me THIS long to come across this thread. Congratulations!!! 😀!! So happy for you!!

But also so bummed for you over the whole platelet-attack-rash. Hope everything eventually works itself out on that front, truly. I'm thinking of you 🙂


And if your child does indeed end the world, I am sure it will be done in style. 😉
 
Two things:

Went for my ultrasound today. Could actually see the baby's heartbeat - got a picture, but it looks like a little peanut baby.

Me: "Hey, ma, wanna see your grandchild?"
Mom: .:stares at picture:. "...it's a...blob."
Me: "Yup, but it's a blob with a heartbeat!"

I also went and had my blood tested today at the lab afterwards and my platelet count went from 35 the day I left the hospital to 116. I have ANOTHER appointment with the hematologist next Tuesday [he failed at scheduling the other one, it's a long story but at least I ended up getting my blood tested] to check up on stuff again, so we'll see if it continues to rise. If it does, then the fact that I was in the hospital is just a random side effect of being knocked up, I would assume.

Oh, and also: Mark and I went to Babies R Us today to look for a baby box or whatever and HOLY GOD DO I EVER HATE EVERYTHING I SEE IN THAT STORE. I'm shopping on the Internet for shit because WHO ON GOD'S GREEN AND VERDENT EARTH would wanna put that shit in their baby room? I mean, SERIOUSLY. It's almost offensive, really, considering both baby stores AND maternity stores cater to one kind of parent with one sense of style, WHICH IS NOT ME [I'm not saying they should CATER TO ME OMG, but I know I'm not the only one who walks into stores like that and chokes back bile]. .:faceplants:. Stupid people and their sickening patterns. Makes me wanna vomit.

Oh, and my due date and January 10th. 😀

I know it's exactly your style!

Just teasing hon, feel better and keep an eye out for that little peanut!
 
O HAI THUR GUIZ. Guess who's back, back again...

At any rate, I haz news:

- IT'S A GIRL. Well, at least they think it is. The doctor sounded pretty sure, even though it's still a bit too early to tell. I'll be more sure in a few weeks.
- Everything is normal with her. She's growing awesomely. I SAW HER WAVE. There will be pictures as soon as soon as I get a hold of a scanner.

A GIRL! HA, IT JUST HAD TO BE A GIRL! CONGRATS, MES. LOVE YOU.
Ultrasound scans are wicked occasions. It makes the whole baby business so much more real.

Y'know, if you want a few shopping tips from someone who's never seen a Babies R Us-store and who doesn't really buy into the whole "MyBabyNeedsMeToShopLotsAndLots" style of mothering, let me know. (And if you don't, I'll keep my fingers of the keyboard. I know how annoying unwanted advice can be.)
 
I come bearing PICTURES! SQUEEEEEEEEE

Laying down. She has her arm bent up near her head, if you can tell.

Kicking out her feet. CUTE, RIGHT?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/Mesektet/Shit%20Pics/babylaying3.jpg
Being adorable.

ZOMG HEAD. You can see her little brain, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/Mesektet/Shit%20Pics/babyleg.jpg
Her leg. FIVE TOES, TOO.

She waggled her fingers at me and kinda sucked her thumb. I also think I felt her move last night for the first time - I might just be insane because it's supposedly too early to feel that stuff, but I'm pretty sure.

Mazel tov, girl!
That's "congrats" in case you didn't know.
The pictures are soooo cute. I wish you the best of luck!!!!
Have you thought about names?
 
Now, if Buffy has taught me anything, I believe this is the point where you start drinking blood, joining covens dedicated to worshipping (and spawning) big sewer demons, sacrificing virgins, and acting like you have a soul. Well, go on. Get to it! These things don't do themselves you know!
 
MOAR ULTRASOUND PICTARS.

More feet. The left is kind of side view, the right are the bottoms of her feet.

Okay, this pictures is my favorite - if you look, you can see her eyes are closed. She looks like a little sleeping cherub baby. ARGH TOO CUTE TO FUNCTION

I actually got to see her kick - I watched the screen while feeling her move, it was AWESOME. She seriously sucked her thumb - like, stuck her thumb in her mouth and made sucking motions. She is definitely for sure 100% female, and I have the picture to prove it but I feel weird invading her privacy before she's even born. I'm a weird person.

Also, I have a tiny tiny little cyst on my placenta which I was told was perfectly normal. I got back to see the guy in eight weeks. w00t!

wow this is seriously alittle late but Congrats theres nothing better than being a mommy and early pregnancy is amazing, to feel your little one kick and move around is the greatest gift ever plus to watch them on the ultrasound definately cool and sometimes annoying when you try to find out the sex and they suddenly cross there legs like mine did lol.

But definately Congrats MK definately the best thing in life is being pregnant and awaiting to hold your little munchkin 😀

I don't think that's weird. I think it's cute and considerate of you to think this way. 🙂

*fingers crossed for ya all keeps on going well for you and the belly cherub*
