14 week update!

Well, we went to the baby class today, which was a total waste of time. Among many of the inaccurate and out-of-date facts pointed out to us today was that a mother can drink less than 5 drinks a day and be okay and not at-risk for fetal alcohol syndrome. Right...not. I'm not taking the risks. I will turn 21 and be pregnant, but I'm not going to have that celebratory drink that they say is okay. It's not with us.

Anyway, we had an ultrasound today. Mark got to see the baby for the first time today and he was very excited. He took a video which is posted at the bottom of this blog. The ultrasound machine's printer was broken so we didn't get any ultrasounds from the doctor, but I was able to take pictures from the video and that works for us. Here's what we have:


I'm measuring correctly, just over fourteen weeks and will get another ultrasound at twenty weeks, when we hope they will be able to determine the sex. Anyway, that's about all that's going on today! I'll try to post more pictures as I have time. And, here's the video; if you pay attention closely you'll be able to see the baby move. Please ignore the talking, it's Mark, the doctor and I discussing the baby and my lack of appointment. I'm about 7-8 weeks late on appointments, but it's no fault of mine; I wasn't in the computer as pregnant, even though they found out at the clinic...lol. Click here to see the video (it won't let me post it right now).
