Baby stuff

I had another ultrasound yesterday to check on some of the things that the ultrasound tech wasn't able to find before with the first ultrasound.  The two things they needed to find was a valve on the heart, and the face.  Well after some difficulty, we were finally able to find out that the heart is fine.  But, this baby still wont let us get a look at his precious little face.  He is always looking down or towards my back.  I even got off the table to do some stretches to try and get him to move.  He was finally giving us a little glimpse of his face, but had his arm covering his mouth. Bad news: We weren't able to find out if there was a cleft palate issue.  Good news: I get yet ANOTHER ultrasound in a month.  It really is fun being able to see my baby so often!

I'm not sure how I feel about this doctors office anymore.  The ultrasound techs are super nice, but the receptionists and nurses seem so "cold". I'm pretty sure i've never seen them smile.  My doctor is nice, but I always leave there having an awkward conversation with her.  I was trying to figure out if it was her or me, maybe it is me.  Who knows.  She is really nice though, and i guess we can just continue these awkward little conversations about why Colby sometimes showers with me, and how i am able to fit in "hubby time" even though he works long hours.

This pregnancy has been pretty good to me.  With Colby i was completely over the sickness between 20 and 21 weeks.  With this one...so far it's week 27 and i'm still feeling the sickness.  The throwing up is gone, but the nausea is still around, although not NEARLY as bad as it was the first 20 weeks.  I've come to the conclusion that I will be sick the entire time with this one, but i know it could be worse and i'm counting my blessings that the only things i've got going on right now is the nausea and the back pain that comes so rarely i can't even complain about it (although sometimes i can use that to my advantage when i want a back rub). Bring on the 3rd trimester!
