I went to visit my Twin, and had an absolutely lovely time. We relaxed, ate good food, wandered around all of the old places. I found some fun things for myself, some Christmas gifts for Hubby, and a couple things for Molly.
It was a much-needed relaxing mini-vacation. I figured last weekend was the best weekend given that it was just after Thanksgiving but still far enough ahead of Christmas to not get in the way of all the Christmas craziness. Plus, 5 months pregnant is just enough to show off, but not enough for me to be super exhausted. I don't think. I'm still new to all of this, of course.
Anyway, I had a lovely time!
This past week was relatively uneventful. Work, school, office Christmas party.
Oh! I never told you about the Ultrasound appointment besides the picture! Well, we ended up waiting around for a good hour and a half or so, and then got seen for a grand total of 30 minutes probably. The guy was incredibly efficient. I am chuckling to say that Molly did not cooperate very much. As in, she would not move. She just kind laid there and when he tried to get her to move (ouch), she just would turn her head and then go back to sucking her thumb. But! He is 95% sure she is a she. I have another appointment in January, and I'm guessing it will be a LOT easier to see then.
Though, typical, she then started moving up a STORM just a day or two after the appointment. And now won't stop moving. It's a very obvious "whomp whomp" too. Not any fluttering anymore.
Which leads to my next exciting news! Hubby got to feel Molly kick last night! Several times, in fact!! The first time we were watching a movie, and she was moving quite a lot, so I told him to stick his hand where she was moving. He suddenly got this look on his face and went, "Was that-...?" "yep!" He wouldn't move his hand the rest of the movie. Then we went and laid in bed talking. She really started moving about, and I told him to feel her. He was getting confused a bit between his hand with his pulse, so he stuck his head on my stomach (well, ear/cheek), and Molly promptly kicked him in the head. Or elbowed him. We aren't sure. But at any rate, I then went, "Hi Molly!" And she went crazy. He then said the same thing, and she started moving around and kicking. He could actually hear her moving around and such.
This was an amazing end to a wonderful happy day, because yesterday marked our 5th year of being together! Yes, five years ago yesterday, the love of my life asked me out on a date to the LA Library to study for finals. Five years later, we are having a daughter! Amazing!
As for Molly's growth, apparently she is the size of a large banana (seriously, who comes up with these analogies?) and can actually taste the food I eat! Or rather, has her tastebuds developing. So if I want her to love her veggies when she's born, better start eating them now. Haha. I have an appointment with my regular OB this Wednesday. Should just be a routine checkup!
Next post might not be for a couple of weeks, given that Christmas is only 2 weeks away (EEP!) and Hubby's family is flying in a week from today (yay!). So I'm going to assume that these next two weeks are going to be super busy and crazy. Need to finish Christmas shopping, mail out packages, bake, etc.
That's it from me!
Here's the photo I took earlier in the week. I can't believe we're over halfway there!
