u/s questions

I'm getting really nervous about my u/s tomorrow. And excited! I'm worried that there will be something wrong, but excited to see how much our baby has grown and find out the gender. I've been praying that everything's alright and will go smoothly.

Anyway, I have some questions about it. Does the technician record the u/s? Like, do they put it on tape for you to keep? I've heard of some doing this, even my mom has a tape of my sister's u/s. Also, do you think I should bring our camera so that we can record the screen and take pictures, or will the techs be annoyed at this? And does the doctor/midwife come in while it's happening to make sure everything is okay? All I know is that our u/s is at 2:00 and then we're meeting with a midwife at 2:30 to "go over" it. I don't really know what that means, but I'm guessing she'll talk about what we saw, etc. However, if she wasn't there, how would she know that it was all good?

My dad's birthday celebration was a lot of fun. We made him enchiladas and then my mom made strawberry shortcake and a chocolate ice cream pie for dessert. Matt and I bought him waterlilies for his pond and my mom gave him THIS, which is really cool! It will be perfect for him to use when he travels. I can't believe that I forgot to take pictures of him opening his presents! I just got one of the desserts and one of him being a goofball eating them. I'm really bad about remembering to take pictures at special events!

We put our new bedding on the bed the other night. Yep, we bought it last summer and just now put it on. We also just now cleaned out our bedroom, which has been a partial storage room since we moved in. We cleared off the dressers and our bedside tables of all the boxes, bags, and other random stuff. I'm so happy! It feels great that we are finally clearing the house up. It's never been completely clean since we moved. Everything was so hectic after moving in that I didn't immediately unpack and organize. We lived out of boxes until September and even then I pretty much just pulled things out and put them in corners or on table/dresser/counter tops.


I'm getting back on my feet now, finally. I've been much more social, I'm keeping things clean and organized, and I'm generally a happier person. I feel like my life is finally coming together for the first time in years after not being able to find a career and the miscarriage. Oh how I pray things continue to go smoothly, at least in the pregnancy/baby department. I know I can't expect my life to be perfect from here on out! Depression can consume a person's life and I'm glad I'm staying on top of it right now.
