We were scheduled to have a nurse's visit at the doctor's office on December 2. This visit was supposed to only inlude things like family history, basic blood tests, and going over our insurance coverage. Well, I had been having a bad stomachache for a week and it was making me nervous. So the doctor agreed that I should have another ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok. I assumed the ultrasound would look like the first one - I was totally wrong! This ultrasound was connected to a huge TV which was nice. As soon as the sonographer turned it on we saw the baby, which actully looked like a baby, flipping and turning all over the place. It was incredible! First the baby's head was on the left, then it was on the right....first Mincy was on her/his stomach and then on its back. The baby didn't stop moving the entire time! Also, the baby really looked like a baby. During the first ultrasound Mincy looked like a peanut but now we could clearly see a face, arms, feet, legs - crazy! From head to "rump" Mincy is 2 inches long which is ideal. Mincy measured in the 50th percentile for size! Yay Mincy! The heartbeat was 164 this time so again everything looked great. It turned out I was just suffering from terrible heartburn which although painful was wonderful news. Some of the other pain I had was round ligament pain which was aggravated by all the coughing I was doing from my Thanksgiving cold. I was so relieved that everything was ok I decided to tell everyone at work I was pregnant. Everybody was so excited, especially my class. A few people said they thought I was pregnant because of all the times they've seen me slumped over in a chair falling asleep. I'm glad I could put all the rumors to rest and share my good news with everyone!
