I just ate half a croissant with chocolate hazelnut spread.....

And then I threw it all up.

Words I can not hear enough of when uttered by a sonogram technician:

Perfect
Excellent
Just right
Right on target
Beautiful
Spunky

Today I had my 36 weeks sonogram. (I'll be 36 weeks in two days.)
The baby was measuring 5 1/2- 6 lbs (PERFECT!).
The above picture does not do justice to how awesome this ultrasound was. My mother and my husband were there too.
We got to see her face (I burst into tears), her fists, her little feet kicking me in the ribs, her butt, her tummy (so round), and her brain (I may be biased, but it looked big to me).
She even got the hiccups during the ultrasound.
Her umbilical cord is not wrapped around her neck (Mine was and I almost died during my birth).
The placenta and the amniotic fluid looked great.

I am on cloud nine.

The husband and I got a camcorder.

Oh the debauchery that will take place.

This means we will be able to film my belly, and the baby kicking, and the animals being adorable.

So many possibilities.

I'd be willing to take requests- if there is anything you'd like to see, leave a comment and I'll try to make it happen.

Also I'd love some advice- what should I use to put the videos on this site? Dropshots.com? Any suggestions?

I just spent 45 minutes writing a very complicated post that included pictures and links.

Then, it got erased.

It is very painful for me to sit up at the computer for 45 minutes, so I can't re-write it.

I think I'm going to cry.

There is a crib in the next room.
And a changing table.
And little tiny baby clothes.
And lots of other baby related gear.

I am 34 weeks and 1 day pregnant.

I just read that if the baby was born today she would have a 99% chance of survival.

I feel her moving all the time and it is awesome.

On July 4th it will be the 10 year anniversary of when I met my husband.
I would say that within six months of meeting him I knew I wanted to have a baby with him.

Now, here we are.

I think we might actually have this baby.

I can't wait to meet her.

Tell me I'm sporting American Idol hair and when I ask you what the hell you're talking about tell me that "It looks like that Indian kid's."
