We met with a UND student for the 2nd time today for the expected mothers program for nursing students. I actually know her from college; ever since being suitemates my first year. It is fun to see Erica again.
She brought the machine to practice hearing the baby's heartbeat. It was fun. We think she, the baby, kept trying to move away from the "microphone". We would hear it and then it would fade and then she'd find it in a different spot. It was funny! She's feisty already!
Until next time...

Ultrasound
Monday we saw our beautiful little baby on ultrasound. It is one of the most amazing things. One can see the head, face, spine, 4 chambers of the heart, kidneys, bladder, hands, legs/feet kicking, among other things. It was hard to see if it is a boy or girl, but Dr. Greek thinks it's a girl. She kept crossing her ankles, so it was a little hard to tell.
The most important thing is that everything looked good. It did. Praise the Lord!
One of the first still pictures of the baby was a facial shot that we were able to take home. Dr. Greek says he thinks she looks like she's frowning. On the way home I told Blake that of course she was frowning; he woke her up! Then Blake said "she's like her mother in that way." haha It's funny, but so true!
I am 18 weeks now. I continue to feel somewhat better, but not 100% yet. I'm not really feeling her kick yet. Just the rolling/fluttering, etc. sometimes so far.
We've only thought of girl names that we like, so hopefully the doctor isn't wrong! ha He was right with the Crawford kids and 2 of them were girls, so he gets it pretty accurate I think.
It all makes me want to meet her even though she is only about half a pound.
Lord, help this little one grow normally and be safe. Thank you that we can trust you no matter what.

Tired
Well, I'm feeling better during the day. I am pretty much "done" for the day about 6pm. I am pretty tired then. I need to eat whenever I wake up at night and before I get out of bed in the morning. I can finally stomach saltine crackers.
I've been getting bigger. Blake said that I am walking like a pregnant woman sometimes. He wants to make sure I include that he thinks it is cute! awww!
Monday, we find out if the baby is a boy or girl. I've been leaning toward boy, Blake thinks girl. I really don't know. It would be nice to have a boy as the oldest, but it would be fun to buy pink frilly things for a girl.
I think I might have felt the baby moving on Saturday. It is kind of a rolling, fluttering feeling. It is neat and helps further the bonding. I do want to be certain of feeling it all the time though. All in due time, then too much kicking.
Monday's ultrasound will show me if the baby is alright so I can worry a little less.
I am 17 weeks pregnant.
I plan to breastfeed.
I plan to use a combination of disposable and cloth diapers. I have looked at bum genius and fuzzi bunz cloth diapers online. If you have used both or either, please give me your advice and experiences. Where you recommend buying them would also be helpful. Any other cloth diaper advice is invited as well.
We (the teachers, staff, and kids) were to dress up for school as a Bible character, your hero, what you want to be when you grow up, etc. I didn't really think of anything, so I went as myself. I was a teacher who wants to be a mom. ha!
