Yeah, it was neat watching the rib cage and spine appear and disappear as the tech ran the scanner around keedokes' tummy. You could see just about every little internal bit. Very Star Trekesque.

Well, Marlene Dietrich wasn't exactly who we were going for, but of course she's free to grow up to be a movie star. I was picturing more of a little pixie with black ringlets. Maybe a black-haired Anne of Green Gables or an Emily of New Moon. But that's just me. PC just wants to see her have a favorite teddy bear that she drags around by the ear all of the time.
Idealistic, I know. Might as well hold on to the fantasies while I can. Before the reality sets in.

It'll seem to drag for now, but looking back it'll seem to have flown. Like infancy. And toddlerhood.

lol, well keedokes, you may be having a baby on the same day, Ciara is having puppies. She's not due til the 23rd though and as stated before it isnt 100% on her pregnancy for another 10 days. I guess the comfort is that even though yours will be a lot bigger she'll probably be having at least 5 or 6 of them.

No comparing my wife to doggy pregnancy. I hope *crosses fingers* that my wife won't have an overwhelming urge to eat her placenta when things are done.

In humans, I'm pretty sure the sight of the placenta works to suppress the appetite for months.

Insurance stuff. We've wanted one all along, but we switched insurance providers and didn't get our cards, etc, and wanted to make sure the insurance would pay for it. We found out it would before Christmas, but of course because of the season I put it off a bit. PC was annoyed because he wanted to know if it was an Ella or a Micah...he was sick of calling it 'baby'.
So, yeah, insurance partly, and me procrastinating mostly. My doctor will only order an ultrasound if she feels there might be a risk, or if we ask for one. So I asked for one...just not right away. Posts: 79 | Registered: Mar 2004

Fantastic. I'm glad everything is going so well. Did Ella get a whole workup, looking at all the organs, and the measurements and everything? I remember thinking how cool it was. The technician explained everything. It was like a science video about only your baby.

Glynn, oh my gosh. Dudes never fail to amuse me. My husband and I attended the wedding of a pair of friends a couple of weeks ago, and the groom had a bunch of pictures taken of all the guys pretending to beat the crap out of each other in their tuxes. In one pic, my husband is raining blows upon the groom, who is delivering a swift kick to the gonads of his little brother. Guess which lovely wedding picture got blown up to poster size and placed above the couple's fireplace?
I overheard a conversation between the groom and bride, and the bride said, "That's great, honey, but can we have another picture put up somewhere...perhaps one with me in it?"

So, "funny" story aside, I have to say that your bride looks particularly lovely and her gown is gor-ge-mous. For reals. Although I was kind of hoping for a pic of you guys riding a saint bernard into the sunset, but oh well.
So, you never told me if Ella is her name, or if you are just using it to mean "her"?

"That's certainly true for PC. It's his one major gross-out factor."
Oddly, by the time the placenta got dragged out of Christy, I was so numb to being grossed-out by things that I just thought, "Gee, here's another blobby, pulsating organ, followed by yet another gout of blood. Whee."
