Two More Days

I'm just biding my time until Wednesday, for that is the day we have our ultrasound. It will tell me how the baby's brain looks, how many chambers their little heart has and if it is a boy or girl. It so strange thinking about it, but these results will change my life. I suppose my life is already changed, but I just don't know it yet. Pretty soon all the secrets will be told.

I am a little anxious about seeing all the anatomy. Last time when I was pregnant, the ultrasound was just done spur of the moment so I had not time to think about it (not a bad way to go). This time all I do is think about it. With a lot of medical conditions, I feel competent to care for the baby and I know Aaron would do well too. There are just certain conditions, mainly hypoplastic heart, that I am terrified of. Hopefully my fears will be erased on Wednesday. If they are not, well then I'll have time to prepare and get mentally ready.

It's still crazy hot here in KC which means Henry doesn't get out much. Poor guy. If he doesn't get his exercise he can really go crazy.

To help with his boredom (and because he always asks), he went to work with me on Saturday. This is normally a light day so I can keep an eye on him while seeing patients. Of course when he comes to work, all he wants to do is eat snacks and play on my computer. I wonder if that's what he thinks I do all day. No, actually, he gets it because sometimes he asks me how many babies I see. He had a great morning by eating all my snacks, gum and mints.

Yesterday I took him to Leawood pool and we had fun. http://www.leawood.org/parks/aquaticcenter.aspx I didn't realize it at the time, but we stayed for 1 1/2 hours. They have a fantastic kiddie pool and then another little pool that is even more shallow. Henry loved it all, but especially this one kiddie slide. He went over, and over and over. It's so funny how much Henry loves swimming, yet is scared to do some things. He is getting better at taming his fear. Yesterday he voluntarily went underwater once. He did this last time we swam too. So maybe there is hope for my timid boy. I wish now I had some pictures, but it was just Henry and me so I didn't grab the camera. I supposed I could take a picture of the nice sunburn on my back. I put sunblock on Henry, but we were running low so I skipped myself. Not a good idea. I thought I was too old to sunburn (or something like that).

So we're still having fun despite the weather and despite the waiting game.
