Record Number of Ultrasounds

I may have a new world record for the number of Ultrasounds performed during a pregnancy!

I had a routine doctor appointment scheduled yesterday - Thursday, so I asked Jeff's mom to come along to hear the heartbeat. The appointment was with another doctor in the practice I'm using; he was very laid-back, and just chatted for a while. He gave me some ideas of how to get this kid out of my ribcage, and I'm feeling better today. At the end of the appointment, he said, "well, if you want, I'm not too busy today - want an ultrasound, since your mother-in-law is with you?" Um, yes, please!

So, Diane, Jeff, and I got yet another glimpse of BabyW, who is doing just fine swimming around in there. He took the time to walk through a few additional areas that my doctor hasn't done (although the ultrasound technician has spent the time to go through), and Baby is just fine. Actually, he/she has slowed down the movements a little since the ultrasound, which is pretty okay, because it was nonstop action there for a couple of days. I LOVE the movement, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it (what will I do when the baby comes out and I can't feel it move all the time?!) - but it is okay if it wants to slow down a little bit for a few days and give my rib a break.

So, I'm going to have to count up the # of ultrasounds I've had, but including my 20-week appointment when we could've learned the gender, I've had 5 - and there were a few before that 20-week appointment.

30 weeks, 3 days - more than 75% of the way to the target!!
