Sprog is Huge
And alive. And measuring at 8w4d, overachiever that he is.
He’s alive. He’s alive. He’s alive.
And I’m a normal pregnant lady now, released to find an OB – Oh, my poor doc was not excited about releasing me to a midwife. He thought – and I kid you not – that perhaps Brooke Shields’ OB would be a good match for me.
er, thanks, but no thanks.
He was, however, very happy to see how well Sprog & I are doing. HB ranged from 200bpm down to 170 after he had me take long, deep, calming breaths. He thought that was hilarious. I have cool new US pictures that show actual bits – head! Umbilical cord! “That is not a penis, so don’t get excited!” – He was having a great time, cracking bad jokes, demanding visits with baby, etc. I was having a great time, looking at pictures of my baby.
My baby.
My risk of miscarriage has officially dropped to about 2% now, and I’m feeling optimistic (at least for the next 3 days)
I bought baby hats. And pants. And onesies. Because Babies ‘r Us is the most terrifying store in the world and I was unable to resist its evil marketing.
But they’re adorable.
Because I’m pregnant. With a baby. And I’m due the first week of March.
And I’m pregnant.
With a baby.
Oh my god. I’m going to have a baby.





COngratulations!!! Great post!
I get goosebumps when you say that!
Whoohooo! Wow, this is so wonderful! Enjoy every single second. March eh. A March baby. Congrats on being released. You are indeed, a normal pregnant women.
BIG SMILE bigger hug!
whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Can’t wait to hear about the rest of your journey.
YAAAAAAAYYYYY! I’m going to celebrate by eating something spicy in your honor. This is a good milestone, isn’t it? A Big, huge, fat sigh of relief. I just found out last night we’re having a girl. Will you find out the baby’s gender? Are you feeling “he” or are you just using that in general? This is just frickin’ awesome!!!
I’m just thrilled! Congratulations!
baby, baby, baby, how cool is that.
