By me
Some weeks you get everything done and you are a total kick butt chick. Some weeks you lay on the couch and eat cheese out of a container while binge watching some rubbish on Netflix. And some weeks you work on a billion and two things and get none of those tasks done and that's okay. Last week all I was trying to get done was any of the two billion things I have started lately and somehow because I was doing a lot on many things I got nothing done. If only I could have just focused on one of those tasks I would have accomplished something.
Last week brought our twenty week appointment for our little human. It was going to be the only ultrasound we were going to get even with my past pregnancy disappointments. I didn't fully understand why I was so nervous or why I was so darn queasy until after the appointment when my sweet hubby and I took advantage of not having either of the kids and went out to lunch. When I was pregnant with my first two kids, my doctor's office was in a different building than it is now. The last two ultrasounds before this one had been done in the same room, by the same woman (she has done all five of my ultrasounds actually) and there hadn't been anything there. The last two times I had stared up at the big screen TV on the wall there was no baby, no hope. I didn't know I was suffering a little PTSD about what has happened. This ultrasound was different though. The baby has a brain and a heartbeat. There is no cleft palate and the little one has hands and feet and all that jazz. The only scary thing about the whole experience was when it took two ultrasound techs to figure out what was going on with the baby's umbilical cord. Turns out the cord is connected to the placenta at the top and the placenta is beside the uterus. Due to these facts the baby runs the risk of not getting enough food. Luckily the baby is booming and is in the 80th percentage. We will have to monitor the baby for the rest of the pregnancy with scans. So my wish for more ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy came true.
The crafty thing I finally got done was a baby quilt I started a while back. It's a Mario themed quilt and wasn't turning out how I wanted, so it had to go into craft timeout until I was ready to face it again. There is also the fact that i didn't really want to deal with anything baby related for a while. Regardless I got it done and one less thing I want to get done is done.
