I'm having SUCH a great day. First of course - the doctor's visit. It went SOOOOOO well. It was just me today. Jeff had a big day at work. My appointment was at 10:30 am. I was weighed, blood pressure checked, and took two blood samples. They're checking my progesterone again (as they're thinking they MIGHT be able to lower my dose now - YEAH!!) and they also want to see how the blood thinner is doing. I wish we could reduce that too. Those are the worst things I take - not pills. After that was done I went into the ultrasound room.

The walnut - now an upgrade from a peanut - is looking great. It was SOOOOO active today. It moved and moved and moved. It was fantastic. It had the pads of its feet together touching, so we saw little knee caps. LOVED it. Baby's dancing in there. It better enjoy it while it can. Space is gonna get tighter soon. Even the nurse, who is an ultrasound technician - she sees these ALL DAY LONG - told me she got chills. It was all fantastic. The heart rate was 171. Girl?!?!

After my appointment I made the requisite phone calls to Jeff and Judi. They were excited. Judi's looking forward to moving here even more now, so she can go to the doctor with me when Jeff cannot. I emailed out the pics immediately to a few people. Then it was back to work.

Other GREAT stuff about my day . . . my new oven came today. LOVE it. Electric oven with a gas range. We'll really enjoy having gas. Our friend/carpenter Matt came and rehung the pantry door. I picked up newly cleaned and hemmed curtains for the living room. And the house is getting a MUCH needed cleaning even as I type. Ahhhhh . . . soon life will go back to normal - for now. In the fall we'll start another wave of improvements as we finish off our third bedroom - hopefully for a little munchkin Kegg!

Here are today's pics:
