our baby

today i got to see our baby!! it is a little angel and i just love it, you could see it's little arms moving around on the ultrasound and its little heart beating. This whole pregnancy is so much more real now that i actually SAW our baby! After the ultrasound i had to go to the lab for some blood tests and they took 10 viles of blood. After about 4 my arm stopped cooperating and they had to switch arms. I sometime during the switch passed out long enough for her to get the last 6 viles of blood, wake up on a gurney with about 8 people around me trying to wake me up. They said i got so pale that they could almost see through me. They had to call skyler to come pick me up and wouldn't release me till i stopped shaking...which took forever. i have no clue why i went out but i was so confused when i woke up and was completely COVERED in sweat. Even though the appointment ended bad i was still so excited to have the pictures of baby in hand!dont mind that i am holding the pictures upside down or that i look deathly, this being sick business has taken quite a toll on me.

That's pretty cool! I always loved get ultrasound pictures of my babies. You will always cherish them.

It stinks to be so sick but it will be worth it. Your new mantra: And this to shall pass. . .eventually!

Hope you're settling in to your new home!

That's so amazing! Well you know, not the passing out part and being sick :( I didn't have an ultrasound until 17 weeks I think so I never saw Mady so tiny, that's so cool!

Yay babies! Congratulations. It's pretty amazing. Sorry you've been sick... and I hope this is your one and only passing out episode for the pregnancy.

How's Portland?

The baby's first photo shoot! What fun! It does make it so real, doesn't it?

I am sorry it wasn't a stellar experience. You poor girl, have the passing out gene, don't you?!?! Wish I could bring you a Jamba.

Will you e-mail me your address, please.
