May 16, 2000

We had our ultrasound! The baby looked so adorable. He wasn't shy at all about showing us that he's definitely a boy! I was a bit surprised about that but I'm getting used to the idea and I like it :). Now we have to come up with a middle name for Benjamin, I guess. All of our family seems happy about that. I'll post pictures after we get them scanned. In one he looks like he's smiling! And he had the hiccups during the ultrasound and he was jumping all over the place. He measured 21 weeks 4 days and weighs almost a pound! It was so sweet. Now I guess I can buy clothes and decorate the nursery! Well, I can decorate the nursery as soon as I figure out what I'm going to decorate it with. I'm really happy :). And I've been feeling pretty well except for backaches. I'm trying to watch my posture and such but it doesn't seem to be helping a lot. I need a back-rub badly. But it's worth it. Anything is worth it for a healthy baby. I hope all of you out there in preggo land are doing well. And all of you who aren't pregnant, too! I'll talk to you all next week.
