We had our second appointment on Tuesday the 12th of January. The bloodwork from the first appointment all came back fine. Yay! We also had our first ultrasound!
What a cute kid, huh? I like to think that I understand this whole process (more or less) and that it's sinking in.... but I really have been feeling pretty good, so actually seeing that cute little "dancing peanut" still took my by surprise. :-) Mark's convinced that babies can sense the ultrasound, and our little peanut sure was active, so who knows? We'll get another ultrasound in about 3 weeks as part of a screening. Yay!
Still feeling good. This upcoming Thursday we're going to let folks at work know that I'll be needing to take leave in August. We're starting to feel like we have an inkling of a clue when it comes to all the company policies and leave paperwork, etc, though we haven't actually *started* any of it. It thought it might be a little awkward if my leave paperwork went to my manager for approval before I'd talked with him. ;-)
Well, I need to wrap up my Kerygma homework so we can go have dinner with friends tonight. Take care everyone!
