The day of the positioning ultrasound arrived and... the baby is HEAD DOWN!!!
A tricky baby he/she may be, but also a smart baby :) I will warn people that judging from what I saw today it's going to be a pretty cute little baby too. Just so that you're prepared.
Everything else looked great (there weren't four legs). The baby has "a beautiful heart" according to the ultrasound tech. What a nice lady she was. I was just so relieved that I'd been patting the bum and not the head. Adam couldn't come, the first appointment he'd had to miss :(
The lovely technician printed out a picture (of the head profile) and wrote the sex of the baby on the back. She put it in an envelope and sealed it. She did this because I was hemming and hawing about wanting to know and not sure, and really not sure if Adam wasn't there. We've discussed the matter and decided not to open it but we may have a moment of weakness and rip it right open. I'll keep you posted :) The picture is pretty hard to decipher anyways... everything is so squishy at this stage! The baby was sucking its fingers and waving its little legs around. He/she also has a very pointy little chin and nose (looks like Mom perhaps?).
In other news, work is good. Much more boring now that my duties are being relieved of me, but people keep telling me that boring is good for pregnant girls. Adam is a superstar, bopping all around, happy as can be. He's doing really well with the whole teaching gig and I'm very proud. He made the most delicious meal tonight, bless his soul... crazy good fajitas. Speaking of which, I need to roll myself down the hallway and help tidy up!

Hellooo... So much to comment on. Thanks for blogging, its great to be able to check in randomly as time permits, helps folks (me) feel at least remotely connected (despite my silence). Congrats to AliB... craziness. Congrats to the new Grandparents... I can only imagine how stoked they are. As for you two, I am eager to see that little print... should you be as eager to share :)... so cool.
And Adam... Dude... you're a teacher. How cool is that? I look forward to a few spare moments so that we might chat about it... and the other developments.
Thanks again for keeping us informed Meggo.
Hope all'y'all are doing well.
