Lookie what I've got!!!

Yeah, so I had my first prenatal appointment today, and GUESS WHAT?!?!?

There's a baby in there!



I personally like how she labeled both pictures "baby"...just in case I was in denial, or had no idea what I was looking at, or thought that I was actually capable, as a human woman, of growing stalks of corn or Junior Mints or almonds in my belly.

Okay, so there's only one (thank the sweet Lord above), and everything looks wonderful. My due date was right on, simply because this is a Leap Year (I was actually a day off, but I forgot about Leapy). So September 7th, 2008. If history repeats itself, that'll make it either September 11th (Beanpole was 4 days late), or September 15th (Little Linebacker was 8 days late). Hopefully, however, since nothing about this pregnancy is the same as the previous two, this one will also choose to be early instead of late (like, uhm, as soon as the bun's done baking would be grand).

Oh, and I love my OB. Yes, sadly, this was my first time meeting him, so I'm glad things worked out (normally I see the Nurse Practitioner, whom I would have deliver the baby if it were, like, legal). So he's a really cool guy...older, but not old enough that his jokes really suck or that he makes me uncomfortable. And he's got tons of pictures around his office of his children and family, and he went over absolutely everything with me, without making me feel like I've never done this before (but also knowing that it has been almost 7 years, and that I might not be as "pro" as I'd hoped).

And I swear my pocket calendar says September 7th is Labor Day (how appropriate), but the wall calendar posted in back of my chair here says Labor Day is September 1st. Either day will do, thankyouverymuch.
