I love baseball!

We went to the M's game today and I had forgotten how much I love watching baseball! It was kinda warm, for Seattle anyway, and a little bit sunny so it was perfect. We had really good seats and almost got ourselves a foul ball. I had a Major League hot dog and I dipped it in nacho cheese. These days I will eat anything if it has molten cheese sauce on it! The odd part was not having a beer while watching the game...just seemed wrong. JC took one for the team and had one for me too.

Today was kids day at the stadium and all the little kids got replica Ichiro jerseys. I had it in

my head to sweet-talk my way to getting one and I really didn't think it was to my advantage but I had to try. I went up to one of the people handing out the shirts and told him that I had a baby in my belly and it would mean a lot to me if he would be able to give me my baby's FIRST article of clothing. He looked at me kinda funny and then at my belly, which isn't really showing yet, and the he s-l-o-w-l-y handed me the shirt. I was so shocked and I said thank you so many times. So the first thing we brought home for our baby is a Mariner's jersey, seems fitting. It's practically big enough to fit me though!

I had a check up on Thursday to see how I am progressing. Doc said everything looked great and I'm right where I should be, heartbeat was 152. We also scheduled the anatomy ultrasound for May 19th, which is hopefully when we get to find out whether we use pink or blue to decorate.

So I'm a bit behind...

Last Friday, 4/10, I decided to ultrasound myself again!  I just love being able to see what I want to see.  These pics aren't as clear as the last ones but you can certainly tell that baby is growing...fast! I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and maybe I'll get another glimpse of the little peanut.

We have about 5 weeks left before we can find out the gender and I can't wait.  We have already decided on the crib but I have seen so many adorable nursery decors that I can hardly wait to start decorating!  I think JC is pretty surprised that I haven't made one baby related purchase yet...but I do talk about it a lot.

Nothing else is really going on with us and now that snowboarding season is over we really have nothing else going on!  (Don't worry I stopped a few weeks ago when it was too uncomfortable to bend over and strap-in my binding.)  We have made some plans to go camping this summer earlier than we usually do because come Labor day I might not want to.  One of those trips is going to be a road trip down the Oregon coast, which I am super excited for!  

Ok, I have a room to clear out!

my turn to run the ultrasound...

So today at work the phones were pretty slow so I did some busy work until there was just nothing left to do.  Charity, an MA at work, said she wanted to do an ultrasound on me but I am kinda modest (I know that'll change!) so I just asked her to show me how it worked and I would give it a whirl.  I had the most amazing time!  Since I could control it I just watched for a while and watched baby make spontaneous movements.  I saw the flicker of a heartbeat...always nice!  I could see arms and legs and I think even fingers.  You can see what I was able to see below.  I love the 3rd and 4th ones, legs all up in the air.  You probably can't see it but in the last one you can actually see fingers!!!  Most days I despise my job but this kinda makes up for it!
