Opinions Please



What do we think of this for a diaper bag? Is it too little kid? I'd love your thoughts and opinions.

Confessions

1. I made the baby mad this morning. I tried to suck in my stomach to see how much of it was gut and how much was baby belly. Don't try it. The baby gets mad.

2. We bought our seat and stroller yesterday. Eeeeee!

3. I'm not normally a sweets person, but this pregnancy is making me a sugarholic. Root beer floats have topped my list lately.

4. Last week was crazy for food. I don't think I've ever been so hungry.

That's it for now. This three day weekend is a treat! We're visiting a couple daycare places today. It should be interesting.

Telling my students

I told my students today.

I teach an AP class and one of the labs we do requires us to genetically modify e.coli so that it is resistant to antibiotics. Strongly enough, my doctor thinks this might be a bad idea seeing as my immune system is suppressed already. That whole parasite thing growing in me and everything. :)

Anyway, my team teacher is going to do the lab for me tomorrow, so that meant I would have to tell my AP kids. Well, if I told them, then I needed to tell my advisees first. It was interesting. There was literally CHEERING. I don't know what I expected, but I'm used to high school students being much more reserved. I felt very loved.

I know my blogging has been sparse to say the least, but with the holidays, things have been so busy I just can't keep up. I'm still feeling pretty good, and things are actually kind of real now! My last appointment was awesome! I got good reviews on my bp and weight. Baby Gumbo was moving A LOT and head a perfect little heartbeat. I can't wait until January 30. That is our anatomy scan so we get to SEE the baby again. I have started feeling him/her a bit and it's really cool.

Here are some pictures of how s/he has grown over the past few weeks.

18 weeks-technically this is tomorrow, but it's close enough

Happy baby! And I just felt him/her move, so this post must not totally suck.

Digital Dossier

I've had several people ask me why I'm not posting ultrasound pics and stuff on Facebook.
