It's official...

I'm pregnant.  Ok, really, though, I went to see the doctor.  See, about a week ago I was really really sick, so Bryan took me to the local ER to be checked out.  I was worried because I had severe abdominal cramping and vomiting, and since I don't have a way to check my BP I was concerned about lil' bean. 

The ladies at the hospital were really nice, and couldn't BELIEVE that I was still waiting on Medi-Cal to get their act together.  The head nurse gave me the card of the doc that was on-call that night, and suggested that I try to be seen by him, but warned that he may not take me on as a patient since I haven't had prenatal care to date.

I *was* able to go see this doc, and it was actually kind of a funny visit.  There I sat, half naked, defensive, mouthy, and at the same time desperately hoping he would be my doctor so I wouldn't have to deliver lil' bean at the County hospital.  Luckily for me he took me as a patient, after much stern lecturing about the fact that I haven't been seen by a medical professional for this pregnancy.  Whatever, you wanna be my doctor?  Cool.  Lecture all you freakin' want.  I can tune you out, mister pister.

So, anyway, I saw the doc on Friday, and he ordered an ultrasound for Saturday.  I *almost* broke down and asked the tech to tell me the sex of the baby, but Bryan stayed strong and said no, so all we know is that it's for sure not a puppy (DAMMIT). 

Lil' bean weighs approximately 4.5 lbs., and is estimated to arrive around Thanksgiving.

Say hello!

I'm glad everything is ok with you and baby, so cool to see the ultrasound pics. Do you have any feelings one way or the other as to what you think the sex is?

I have been waiting for you to blog about this (since you never return my phone calls)! ;) I have been really worried, but I didn't want to bug you incase you were still sick. I'm SO happy everything is ok & going well with the baby!!

Yea for little bean!!! Such control to not ask for the gender. I might have been tempted to knock Brian out, momentarily. Thanksgiving is our due date as well, wanna share?? It would be groovy if yours was a little boy too, though he would look a little funny in Pheobes hand-me-downs. Congrats on the successful check-up and Dr. securing.

[Candice]

HA! I can see his or her or it's little face!!

[kelli]

How perfect! I've never gotten an image like that before! Glad the Doc took you on:0) Thanksgiving is a wonderful time. I too share the love of that holiday.

That baby has the biggest penis I have ever seen!

I'm just kidding.

About the biggest part I mean.

I've seen bigger.

Hahahaha. No I am kidding again. I slay me!

Ok all kidding aside, I am very happy you got to see your little bean and you were assured everything is going along fabulously. I have happy silly goosebumps for you guys! And Thanksgiving will be a great time, great weather, everyone is in great spirits. With Christmas right around the corner, I'm sure it will feel like everyone is celebrating the arrival of your bambino/a!

You haven't had prenatal care and you're due this Thanksgiving? That makes me angry. Not at you! no. At the healthcare woes that I've heard you lament about before.

Urghh.....

I hope all is well! I will put you and your bean in my prayers.
