*5 1/2 months*
I really can't believe I'm almost 6 months pregnant! I had the cutest experience the other day at work... my patients 3 year old little girl had asked her if she could have a brother and sister and I just started laughing and said "you can be friends with my little girl" as I held my tummy and the little girl said okay well where is she.. and her mom said oh her baby probably won't be here for what another 6 months? I very quickly corrected her saying oh no I've been pregnant for 6 months.. please don't put another 6 months on me! :) My patient couldn't believe it! But I look down and see this huge stomach and know that this is just the beginning.. by the end I'm going to be really HUGE! ugh...
My first ultra sound I had at about 19 weeks was when we first found out we were having a girl.. but taking after her parents she was pretty stubborn and wouldn't let us see her face and crown of her head (which they like to check her brain and lips and things like that) so darn it we had to go back a few weeks later to see our cute little girl again. The second time was amazing.. the second her picture popped up on the screen she arched her back and we just saw her spine perfectly! Everything looks normal and they were able to get to see her brain and lips and everything she wouldn't let them see the first time, so good my daughter has a brain :) I am so grateful for a healthy little girl and so grateful and amazed by the technology they have to make sure she is doing alright in there. They said she is measuring 3 days early.. but I'm defiantly not getting my hopes up! My pregnancy is still going great, although I did have my first experience a few weeks ago of heartburn and oh.... my...... gosh..... I thought I was going to die! I have never had heartburn before and so when it started I did not know what was going on and I was asking everyone at work what was going on and what I could do... all they could say back to me was "there's nothing you can do" and "this is just the beginning of heartburn for you!" OH GREAT! Oh well I guess I need to have at least one symptom of pregnancy while I'm pregnant right! :)
