Less wiggle room...
We had the 20 week visit last Friday. Normally, these (20 weeks) are "the" visits as the sex is found out, the placenta is examined along with the baby's position, and the big blood test results are reviewed. It's not called the "big blood test", it's called something else but I don't remember and I just got done listing 2 Baby Alive dolls on ebay and it didn't go well so I want to be done with the computer as soon as possible which means I'm not going to look it up for you tonight... Anyhew, normally the 20 week is a big deal but ours was a big dud. We found out the sex out already and the real excitement of this visit was to be an ultrasound to view the previa's status.
Well, we arrived at the clinic precisely at 3:55 pm, which is exactly what the appointment confirmation card read only to learn that when Western OBGyn says 3:55 pm they REALLY mean 3:20 pm because that's when the ultrasound was scheduled. So, we talked with the Dr. about Jen's excellent health - good weight gain, 1 in 5000 chance of Spina Bifida, Down's, and the other thing I'm not going to look up from the big 3 blood test thingy that I'm not going to look up. And we rescheduled the ultrasound for tomorrow, which sets the stage for an alarming amount of blog activity.
But, I had to post tonight to share some cute pics from the past week. Jen's belly is really showing now and growing quite rapidly. The baby has been very active, although I still can't feel little Eudora from the outside. The pic with Jen in the slacks and red sweater is most recent and her belly is noticeably larger than the other pics which were taken just last week!
Someone asked me recently if I was excited about becoming a new father (although I considered myself a "new" father when I married Jen). I find it strange that I don't remember how I replied, but the blog is a very small clue to the excitement, awe, pride, and fear I'm feeling right now. It's nothing short of awesome. ...Kind of like how I felt when the Packers won the Superbowl in '97. Yes, it's that good.
