We Saw Baby Ugly!

First, I had a bit of a scare last night. I had a little bit of spotting. My nerves kept me up most of the night. I read quite a bit online that said it is probably normal, but that didn't really help. Like I said the other day, I have had so many pains, pulls, cramps, etc. that it is scary!

Today at one we went for the first ultrasound. I was terrified. As Joey and I sat there, we saw a blob on the screen that was our baby. As we looked in awe at the screen, we saw a flutter. She told us it was the baby's heartbeat! It was wonderful! She assured us that everything looked great and I felt tremendously relieved. She put our due date, based on the baby's size, at June 4. We called Annette to tell her and she was thrilled (for those of you that don't know, that is her birthday).

As we talked to the nurse, she tried to calm my fears about all my aches and pains. She said that because I am older and this is my third baby, that my muscles aren't what they used to be. She said that my muscles were "flabby" and "worn out". That was all the ammunition Joey will need for the rest of my life!

Later we talked with the boys and I asked them what my nickname for the baby should be. I call Jackson Pumpkin Pie and I call Justin Little Precious. Justin immediately said Little Ugly!
