Update

Hey, all! I just got back from our second ultrasound. It went so great!!! I actually got to see our little one move around in there! Wow, so cool!!! I wish Carl could have been there, but he was stuck at work. They did video it for us, and we got printouts of the pics. Our sweet baby is measuring 2 days ahead, at 8w 4d. It looked so big compared to last time! It had the beginnings of arms and legs. Its head was huge compared to everything else. Its little :heart: was beating at 159 bpm. And, I was reminded that by our next u/s, which is December 2, our baby will look like a real proportioned baby. Yea!!! This is too cool. I called Carl as soon as I got out, and he was really excited to hear about the new developments. My mom and sister were, too. I love this feeling! So, anyway, I felt awful most of the day yesterday, didn't throw up, but I felt like I could have. Today, I woke up nauseated, but still went to work and made it through the day without too much trouble. When the people at work don't know anything yet, it is easy to make yourself put on a smile despite feeling sick. At our department meeting, they talked about more things they want us to do this summer as professional development. I am going to have to tell them that I cannot make any committments for summer. I want to wait until after our 3rd ultrasound, though. Does anyone have any advice for telling people? I am going to tell my friend, Malli, at work tomorrow. I am only spilling to her, though, because she's been doing me lots of favors by watching my class when I have an appointment. She's getting curious. I am going to tell her that she can't tell anyone else, though. Well, I am off to eat something. My stomach is growling. I hope everyone else is doing A-OK! Thanks for your congratulations and responses. I am trying to keep things updated more now. I wish I could post a pic from our ultrasound, but I didn't get a CD and don't have a scanner. I'll see if I can figure something out.
