WOW. Just got back from my doctor's appointment, and they surprised me by doing an ultrasound. At 12 1/2 weeks, my little baby... looks like a little baby! Arms and legs and wiggling around and curling up and turning over- I can't even get over how amazing it was to see this, how incredible to know that this little precious PERSON is inside me right now moving and growing and... becoming. I am so glad Chris came with me to this doctor's appointment. We both just stared at the screen, in a state of near disbelief. Now it feels so much more incredibly real. To think this is how we all came about in this world. Absolutely amazing.

And now I am at home waiting for my other favorite pregnant person- that would be Heather- to come over for a visit. Tonight's topic of conversation? Probably the economy or something. Or the Kardashians. I'm embarrassed to say, but I've been keeping up with them.
