So I am here in IF this week for various reasons (mainly, I have not been home since NEW YEARS!!!). It was my last day at LA on Friday, I haven't started at LDSFS yet (due to not having taken the test until today, but never fear, I passed, so I should be starting there really quick) and I was easily able to rearrange my work schedule at Vantage Point. So here I am.
Since I was home, I thought it would be convenient to see if my fabulous Uncle John, a radiologist here in town, would do an ultrasound for me of the baby. I think I am overly paranoid (ok, I know I am overly paranoid) about everything and I wanted to see if the baby was alive. I know, horrible. I had no real reason to believe its not, I just worry, you know. Plus, I have not had any ultrasounds yet at all. I know some doctors do them early on and some don't. Well, mine does not do it till 20 weeks to tell the gender of the baby. So I was eager to see how things are going.
John is one busy man, but he found time to squeeze me into his schedule. My dad and I met him at the clinic and he did an ultrasound for me. I have to say, it is a different feeling to see the child that I am carrying (although I don't really feel like I am carrying anything, thus the concern). But, everything was great, the baby has all its limbs, it has a great heart which we saw beat multiple times (because I made John keep going back to show me that it was, in fact, beating). That baby sure is the cutest thing. The best part was when he/she started waving at me! So cute.
Since I am 15 weeks, that is generally a little early to tell what the gender of the baby is, but I told John that if he could tell, not to tell me because I wanted to find out with Devin with me. Well, the baby had its legs crossed at first, so John didn't think he would be able to tell anyway, but then he went back to look again, told me to look away, and then announced that he knows what the gender is! Haha. I don't know and my uncle does. But we will wait 5 more weeks to see and then see if John was right. Funny, huh? It's still a little early, so he may be wrong.
That's all! Just glad the baby is alive and well and happy, too.

Oh so cute!! I wouldn't have cared if LeRand was there or not, I would've made the Dr. tell me, that's how badly I wanted to know with Shiloh. To answer you, I tihnk David is handling everything just fine (rumor has it Sony signed him as well) and he got a brand new hybrid car, all this crazy stuff. Such a cute kid. I missed not having you hear to watch it with me :(. Sarah and Amy weren't here either. Can't wait to see you back, it seems like it's been forever since we worked together. And good news, "you know who" (blek) left this morning, never to return (as far as I know), due to some other behaviors he exhibited during his wonderful stay.
hey kimmie,
I think you are lying about the baby being cute. I alwayst thought mine looked just like aliens :) i am so excited for you though. I can't wait to know what it is. I might even make it a craft. How about that.
That is so good that everything is looking good with the little babe! I Loved the ultrasounds. I was hoping you were going to announce the gender though... I want to know more than you i guess! :)
Sorry I couldn't see you when you were here... we just couldn't get away from Jackson Hole.
Oh and AMY and TOdd are pregnant again due about the same time as you! How fun!
I'm glad that everything is all right with the baby. I think I would be overly paranoid about everything also. Can't wait until you find out what you're having. Thanks for coming to visit and for helping out with Chris while I was at work. We really appreciate it!
Good old Uncle John is right! He gave me my first ultra sound at 16 weeks and let us know the gender. i totally understand you waiting for Dev. It is your first and that is a special moment for you both. I would be dying to sneak a peak though. Way to stay strong! I am so glad your baby is doing well. It is so hard being pregnant and all that waiting. I am sure everything will be just great. Love yoU!
It's a boy! I just know it....
