Hiccups & Baby clothes

Today was our second prenatal appointment. After checking me out, the nurse midwife rolled in the ultrasound machine again. Many people had told me that I likely would not have another ultrasound since we had one at the last appointment so I was happily surprised.

Just as baby came into view, it had a series of 3-4 hiccups! Once those subsided I got to watch the baby bounce around inside me. Still too early to feel baby though. My next ultrasound won't be until week 20 which is mid-January. But that's when we get to find out the gender, as long as baby cooperates.

I was bummed that Cameron was unable to attend the appointment. Unfortunately, his boss scheduled a mandatory in-person meeting for every one in his Sales group for the same time as our appointment. Cameron was just as bummed, if not more. I was able to bring two pictures home for our fridge.

Tomorrow night we're off to an early pregnancy class to learn what we can expect in the coming months and appointments. Just hoping morning sickness doesn't hit. I'm not having it as often or as long, but it tends to strike in the evening when I'm tired.

In other news, we have bought and been given the first baby clothes, gender neutral of course. Two Fridays ago, we ended up at the Galleria Mall in Roseville. Before we had started trying, we had gone into a Sports store looking for a hat for Cameron. That's when we discovered they carried San Jose Sharks onesies with bib and booties! I ended up buying one for my friend Ashley who was expecting at the time. When we made the decision to start trying we went back into the store to get our own, but the store didn't have any. Well they did that Friday, along with cute Sharks hoodie sweatshirt and sweat pant sets. Our kid is fully equipped to be the Sharks fan he or she will be. If we have a girl, I'll finish the outfits with a black headband.

Matt & Lynde just returned from Maui for their honeymoon and brought us back the tiniest and cutest Aloha Baby onesie, perfect for a newborn dealing with Central Valley summer heat next year.

Now, if I could just get the energy to clean out the baby's room so we can start looking at getting it ready for baby. I'm told my energy will return soon. I sure hope so. I'll try and take some pics of the pile of boxes ahead of me, as well as the clothes and scan those ultrasound pics soon.

Tootles,
