As the Baby Grows
At my doctor’s appointment last week, he looked at our child’s anatomy. He measured and inspected such parts as the kidneys, liver, brain, skull, femur, arm bone (I don’t remember its clinical name), toes (so cute), abdomen, and genitalia. This is a picture of our child’s genitalia. Our doctor has been a doctor for many, many years and is an excellent ultrasoundographer. As we looked at this image on the ultrasound screen, he told us the sex of our baby. We just didn’t see what he saw. Do you? He said he was sure of the baby’s gender. Are you?
Here I am in my 23rd week of pregnancy. The baby has now added 25 pounds to me. Can you tell? I am feeling great: my energy is high, and I don’t feel nauseous anymore. Of course there’s other effects of pregnancy beginning: a sore back, swollen feet, and excruciating leg cramps at night (well, it’s only happened once so far, but it was so bad that I was afraid to fall asleep the next night).
The first snow of the season fell yesterday. It was very festive, and we had plans to put up our Christmas tree and decorations, but we didn't actually get to it until today, and this evening the snow has almost melted.
