our little peanut

it's funny how often these days i feel like doing nothing...which is one reason i haven't blogged over the past few days! i had been doing so well at keeping this silly thing updated... :) i really enjoy writing and blogging is even more fun because people, for some crazy unknown reason, actually read it and respond...which i just love! anyway...

we went to THE doctor today and got to see our little peanut up close and personal. i was telling a friend before the appointment that i was a little worried about being able to see the baby...that episode of friends, where ross goes to THE doctor with rachel to have her first sonogram and see the baby for the first time. you know, the one where she's all like "ohhhh....awwww", like she's seeing this little life inside of her, but then as soon as the nurse turns away, she starts crying and telling ross that she actually can't see the baby..they point it out to her and she's like "ohhhhhhhhh", only to, a few moments later, admit that she still can't see it...and she never really does know exactly where the baby was in the picture! while it made for quite a funny episode of friends, it was a little unnerving to think that might actually happen!! but, i needn't have worried-we both could see the baby just fine! and the nurse was great, pointing out where the head was, showing us the heartbeat, then letting us here it beat away...pretty amazing, i must say! :) they gave us two little pictures and suggested we scan them onto our computers, but sadly, we had no scanner... :( i will say, it looked a whole lot like ashley's sonogram-LOL! oddly enough, my due date is april 13th, just a couple of days before her's! anyway, ryan and i were both excited to get to see the baby and hear that everything looks great!! :) 

in other news, we both started classes today...actually, ryan is in class this evening! i have been nervous about starting school, just because i haven't been feeling the best..but today went really well. i felt pretty sickly before class, but by the time i made it there, i was good to go. tomorrow will be a longer day for both of us, so we'll see how it goes! 

i did hear some fun news tonite when i was talking with my dad. he is a man of many skills, one being he can make just about anything you ask him to. he told me that he has found some plans for a rocking chair and cradle that he's going to make for the baby and me, as well as a baby bed, dresser, and changing table. not only will it be wonderful to have pieces that go together that we don't have to pay for, but i know his work is always just beautiful..so i can't wait to see the final products! :) 

well, until next time...
