Ultrasound
Early this morning Agent Murphy and I trundled off to the OB’s office (in the nasty cold and rain; I’m ready for spring!) to have Laurie the ultrasound tech check on Garbanzo Bean III. This was just to check the baby’s size to confirm or adjust the due date. She came up with July 23, so pretty close to the July 25 we were originally given. We’ll see her again in a month or two when the baby is bigger so she can check on the chambers of the heart and such.
We’ve been reading God Gave Us Two and A Baby Sister for Frances. Agent Murphy has started picking out God Gave Us Two for story time. We wonder how much he understands of what we’ve been telling him. At this age, especially with his not talking, it’s hard to tell. So after reading God Gave Us Two last night I was explaining to him that we were going to go to the doctor’s office today and they would use a special machine to look inside Mommy’s tummy so we could see his baby brother or sister. He patted his tummy. So I told him, “Yes, but Mommy’s tummy.” Laurie gave him his own copy of an ultrasound photo today. I’ve taped it onto his dresser where he can look at it while he’s in bed.
