So we didn't find out this time what kind of creature is growing in my belly (girl, boy, nerd, conehead). Though you can clearly see that my offspring has quite a handsome spine, and a possible future as a contortionist.
Everytime my doctor sends me to book an ultrasound, I think no problemo, routine ultrasound. Then the ultrasound girl looks at me like I have three heads and asks why the heck am I getting this done now? The answer of course is that my doctor LOVES doing tests. He orders chest X-rays when I have a cough. Sometimes he gets my blood tested for HIV just for kicks. Anyway, I might need another ultrasound in a couple weeks so the doc can enjoy more pics of my insides.
Usually before an ultrasound or doctor's appointment I have this irrational fear that they'll tell me that I'm not really going to have a baby and there's just a dead fetus floating in there. But I think I may have felt it move this morning. I can't be sure, it was quite subtle and might have been a gas bubble or my imagination. I choose to believe it was my baby. It's alive, Igor! It's alive!
Oh, and they also took my blood. Vampires.

I thought you were going to finish that sentence with:
"there is a puppy..."
"I am just imagining the morning sickness, increased hunger, missed periods..."
"there is a party going on right now."
Having never been pregnant, I don't understand these irrantional fears you are having. On the other hand, having never been pregnant, I still worry about things like who will take care of my child when I go back to work? How will we handle sick days? Will we be able to afford a new house? So I guess I can understand.
