Baby heartbeats and bachelor parties


Man, days off really do have their advantages and disadvantages. The drawback is, of course, having to come back to work and feel sad that you can’t be at home again. But then again, if you stay home too much, you become lazy.

So anyway, yesterday was a pretty darn good day. In the morning, we went for my first ultrasound, which was absolutely awesome. We saw the little thing, moving its arms and legs a bit, and we got to hear the heartbeat. So cool. I mean, one of the most amazing experiences in my life thus far. It’s as if I didn’t even believe I was pregnant until I saw it there, sitting in its little pocket. And, even better news was that I am actually about 12 weeks 4 days instead of 10. So how awesome? I just skipped 2 weeks, basically!

After that I went home for a bit and back out to get a pedicure. There’s a wedding this weekend and I plan on wearing open toed shoes; my toes can’t look like crap, right? My fingernails looks bad enough but there’s not a lot I can do for them. So yeah, we went to Chili’s with Matt and his g/f, since he’s moving to Denver on Monday, and then we hung out the rest of the afternoon. It was great. Nice and relaxing.

Ash is headed to Jax tonight for a bachelor party and I won’t see him until tomorrow afternoon. It seems as if we never know both of the people getting married well enough so that he goes to that party and I go to a bachelorette party.  But that’s ok; I’m having coffee with a friend so there’s something. But you know me: I could clean all night and be content.

Happy Thursday, everyone!

  1. Was it slimey? Hearing the heartbeat is an amazing thing. It’s surreal and exhilarating. So when are you due? Are you going to find out about the sex?

  2. Actually it wasn’t as slimy as I thought and they had heated the gel so it was actually kind of… nice. I am due (edd) September 17th. They’ll be able to tell the sex in about 5-6 weeks and yes, we’re going to find out! (We have a nursery to decorate!)

  3. 13 years ago they didn’t warm the gel.(that is supposed to have been said in a “back in my day I walked to school barefoot, through the snow for 100 miles” kind of voice) They were evil that way, but the heartbeat was always amazing to listen to.

    I am glad you are going to find out the sex. My daughter’s parents wanted to wait to find out what I was having, but her mother was with me at the ultrasound and gave in. I think finding out the sex is like a Christmas present — it doesn’t matter what it is, it will just make you happy.

  4. Yeah that’s how we see it. Even though we’re more inclined to have a boy, we’re going to be happy no matter what. So long as it’s healthy, we’re thankful.
