What is IT?

Well, dear readers,

I thought I'd give a short update on the latest prego news. (yes, I too used to hate the word prego--but don't worry you get used to it).

I had an ultrasound two weeks ago and the ultrasound tech could not figure out what "IT" is because the legs were too tightly closed. Then E and I did our own ultrasound (a benefit of being in the medical profession) but were again stumped by the little kid who would not move from a tight fetal position. I guess that's OK--since it is a fetus. But, not to worry. I was told I would have one more ultrasound in 1 or 2 months. Let's hope so! And I think I'll drink a Mountain Dew (even though I hate them) next time to get this kid moving. I must say "It" hardly moves as much as B did. But she was a bit out of control--so I don't mind.

On another note about that area of the body: B has had severe diarrhea for the past couple days. We're talking dripping down her leg! And so it was my lovely duty to collect a few stool specimens for my doctor's office. Oh the joys! You should really all try it if you haven't had a chance. There's nothing like sifting through poop with a tiny spoon to find the most slimy, watery "specimen" and then having to fill 3-4 vials with "it." Guess we'll find out what this "it" is sooner than the first "it."

Happy hunting!

What a stubborn little thing. I guess he/she wants it to remain a mystery. Can't wait to find out!

Ok, well I have to say THANK YOU for finally updating. I came on this afternoon to write a nasty comment about not updating for awhile...oops! Anyways, thanks for the pics and Congrats again :) I didn't hear about your own ultrasound, at least you can trust the tech next time that he does know what he's doing!!!
