Stupid Pregnancy Moment #147

Apparently you have to put SOAP in the dishwasher before you run it... got it. Too bad that didn't dawn on me until I had almost emptied the "clean" dishes into the cupboards. Soap... remember to put soap in next time.... don't back into cars... my list is getting frighteningly longer!

In The Dark

After the "Ohio Hurricane" Owen and I were left without power from Sunday until Thursday. With the help of many generous people from work, we were supplied with lanterns and a generator. Unfortunately we lost everything in our fridge and freezer. I guess it was a good way to get the whole thing cleaned out though! It was quite the experience, but I am glad it happened while Baby Bambino was safely tucked away!

I had a brief doctor's appointment last week. All is well! Next time is the sugar test, but that isn't until October. We are headed up to Wisconsin for the Ohio State game on October 4th. That is the annual road trip for the season. We have Iowa, Purdue, and soon Wisconsin under our belts. We'd like to visit all the Big Ten schools. After this season it will be 3 down, 7 to go! By the time we get to the last few, our little one won't be so little anymore. I'm excited to go, but bummed out that I won't be in "usual form" at the tail gate lot... I'll have to flavor my water to make believe I have something good!

Stupid Pregnancy Moment #146

When they say you lose brain cells when you are pregnant, they are NOT kidding. I used to think that was some crazy myth that people used for their idiotic moments. Well, myth no longer.... I actually looked at a car in my driveway and decided that I could easily back around it. I then got in my car, changed the radio station and proceeded to back out. I completely forgot that Ryan's car was behind me and yep... you guessed it! I backed right into it. How my brain could have forgotten that it was right there in that 20 second time span is beyond me??

Owen called the insurance company and all will be taken care of! Ryan was not upset in the least. In fact, he and Owen thought it was rather funny. I however, was irrationally crying over this incident. Most credit goes to Owen for handling my emotional episode. :)

I won't go on with all of my other idiotic moments of late... just know that this was the worst of them (so far!) All else is well. I can feel Baby Spaite kicking all the time now, especially in the morning when I wake up. Luckily, I have the ability at this point to sleep through the night and boy am I savoring that!

Ultrasound

Well, it was better than I ever expected. I spent a little over an hour totally enamored with the screen. It was beyond amazing to acutally see the baby moving, turning, waving. We saw its heart beating too. I could see all the chambers! Everything is right where it is supposed to be. I checked all the parts out and even tried to count the toes when its little feet came up. The feet are about 3cm long. To put that in perspective... 2 1/2 cm equals 1 inch. Check out a ruler the next time you have a chance!
It was quite the stinker though - moving constantly. The tech said I have one that won't stay still - just like it's mom! The best part about today was watching Owen's face as he was watching the baby move around. It even gave Owen a wave with its little hand. I can't wait to meet this little wonder.

Tomorrow's the Day!

Tomorrow is the day Owen and I will first see Baby Spaite. I am so excited to see the little gray blob on the screen. If it is half as amazing as hearing the heartbeat, then we are in for a memorable afternoon! All is well with me - I can hardly believe I am just hitting the 20 week mark. This kiddo will be here before we know it.
