Everything checked out well at the Dr appt today. Baby's heart is thumping right along, and mommy's blood pressure and weight are perfect. We made our 20 week ultrasound for 2 weeks from today - so in two weeks - we'll know what we're having(unless we decide not to find out....but I doubt that happens)
Dr Sullivan is predicting a girl....but he admitted that he's wrong all the time and there really is no skill in determining that until you see the ultrasound. I guess he figures he's got a 50/50 chance of guessing right. Although, if he's below 50%, he should probably just pipe down.
I should also mention that baby's new nickname is Sausage.....
Anne has an acquaintance that called her baby Bacon until it was born.....I decided that Sausage would be a nice upgrade over Bacon. So, a couple of weeks ago I started calling the baby Sausage and it's kind of stuck (for me anyway....I don't think I've heard Anne actually say it yet).
In other updates....we found out you can buy split queen box springs (two pieces) for only $120 or so. So that room crisis isn't a crisis afterall - just a minor bump in the road. We also went to USA Baby for the first time last week to look at furniture for Sausage. Whew, that stuff is expensive. I threatened to try to make a crib (I'm a little too big headed since I built our shelves)....but Anne doesn't trust my carpenter skills nearly enough for something our baby will be sleeping in.
I'm off to the lake for a couple of days - a little guy trip for Memorial Day. Anne works Friday and Saturday - so we didn't have anything going on.
So, I'm afraid I'm leaving Anne home to both bring home the bacon AND take care of the sausage......
18 weeks and 1 day today!

I suppose "sausage" would be appropriate if it's a boy! HeHe! So glad to hear everything is going so well and that Anne is feeling good. Only two more weeks to go before you know for sure - so exciting!
ReplyDeleteWe bought our crib and dresser at USA Baby (rookie mistake!). If we have another baby I will definitely never buy from them again - they are far more expensive than anywhere else. NFM or even Babies R Us has nice stuff, too. You'll find the perfect set regardless!
Have fun this weekend!
By the way, I just randomly checked your blog today to see if you had updated lately - good timing for me!
ReplyDeleteI fear if sausage ever has a sibling it will be toast!
