Doctor Visits

Wow, I can't believe it's April already! Hmm, let's see, what's happened since the last update here...

We've had a few more doctor visits, the baby is doing fine and growing like she's supposed to be. They told us that in these last three month's they will be able to determine if she's going to be a large or small baby. This is the ultimate growth spurt.

Doctor visits have been interesting, and I have to say Tina has educated herself very well about pregnancy. Its apparent when we are in the room with the doctor. As he explains what's happening, Tina is always asking questions about very calculated and scientific matters involving fetuses. Then there is me sitting in the "significant other" chair they have in the room. I'm holding Tina's Jacket, purse, and several free baby magazines in my lap, nodding like I understand what an episiotomy is. Every once in a while, I can pull a cool sounding question out of my butt, but that's far and few between.

It's not that I'm completely in the dark about babies. I know a great deal, I just don't know all the technical details. I am learning however, and having a baby is a man's crash course in female anatomy. Light years beyond anything they teach in high school.

I had hoped to have more pictures for you, but at the last ultrasound the baby wasn't cooperating. All we were given was the apparent full frontal of the baby's face. It wasn't too detailed though and all you could see was teeth. It reminded me of the Chesire Cat when it would disappear and all you saw was the grin. A bit creepy if you ask me. Next week there's another ultrasound though and hopefully I'll have some good pictures to put up.

Right now, I have to go and put some drywall up. I have some visitors coming at the end of the month and need to make sure that there's a living room for everyone to sit in.
