I have a feeling that as soon as I type this, I’m going to start feeling yucky again. But it has been a whole week and a half since I have felt the all day nausea stuff and throwing up yuckyiness. Could it be that the morning sickness (which is NOT only in the morning) is finally passing? Wouldn’t that be wonderful! Our next appointment is on Dec. 5 so we’ll get to hear the little heart thumping away. Right now, the baby is about a pound and about 8 inches in length. Amazing how quickly they grow. 
I guess it’s about time to think about setting up the nursery and all that stuff. We still haven’t bought anything.
I’m off to catch up on the mountain of homework I have to do. 
It piles up quick when you are feeling blah.
Hey all! You gotta check out these ultrasound pics from yesterday. Our tech was so wonderful, and took the time to explain all the parts she was looking at. The heart has four chambers, the brain is right on track, the bladder had ‘fluid’ and the tummy had stuff in it too. She pointed out the kidneys and everything. We have a very ’skinny’ nuchal fold, which is great; enlarged ones can be linked to chromosomal abnormalities.
We chose not to know the gender, and none of the pictures show it. Our tech, though, said she got a very clear shot and knows for sure what it is. They don’t write it in the chart though, so no one can accidentally spill the beans. So without further ado, here are the latest pictures of Baby Crawford:
The feet are pointing to the right, the bottom one is pointing slightly down, flat part is toward us. That was the cutest picture on the monitor, and so clear! Oh, and the heart beat is a nice strong 148. We weighed in at 11 oz and are about 6 inches long. I’m a bit excited now, even though I’m still feeling ill some days.
