Healthy

We went in for our ultrasound today. Admittedly, we were both a bit nervous. Pret decided he wanted to come and I'm glad he was able to experience a positive ultrasound. 

Yes, everything appeared healthy and normal and measured right on target!  Both the tech and the midwife were funny with us not wanting to know. The tech, who happens to be roommates with one of Pret's best nurses, said we are definitely in the minority when it comes to (not) finding out the gender of the baby. She was great about showing us as much as she could without revealing any parts. :)

I got so good at recognizing the parts amidst Stella's abnormalities, that it was almost hard to distinguish them when everything was normal. I almost missed seeing the acieties (all the fluid, etc.,  in her abdomen,) but I am so glad it is absent in this new little one. 

So, now the next waiting game begins. The midwives have warned that I could deliver early due to having two pregnancies so close together, so I could be more than halfway there. Hopefully I won't go too early-I don't want to go back to school before Christmas! :)

Six-month

Another cunning way to get around "one word!"  :-)

It was last night that I realized that tomorrow was six months for two reasons--it is the first Tuesday as well as actually being the 3rd day of the month.  This is the first time it has happened since the day Stella was born.

It has been a great day.  Made it to do initiatory at the temple, which was really nice.  Pret was able to make it, too, which was a first as well, and very nice.

The last few weeks have been rough.  Sunday, I had a bit of a breakdown.  Pret was very supportive and let me just be.  The week has gotten progressively better, maybe that has to do with the fact that the school year has gotten progressively shorter.

Ok, that's really all I wanted to say.  Short and sweet and life is going on.  :-)
