10 1/2 Weeks

So we had our second trip to the doctor today. All is well with Baby B. He/she is growing strong. No ultrasound this time, since we had one last time, but we did get to hear the heartbeat again (160bpm, see below). I am feeling really good, haven't been sick so far, just a little tired occasionally. As our cousin Tim says, you're growing a human in there...it's too be expected. Things are really hectic around here which means there isn't much time to rest, but that's okay! I am truly thankful that this whole pregnancy thing has been fairly easy so far. G-d is great!! 

Oh, found out I was O+ today. Not sure if that is good or bad, but hey at least I know now. Don't you think you should know your blood time before you are 27? Guess there hasn't been any need thus far, so for that I am thankful too. 

I love my sweet husband Ben, he makes me so proud in so many ways!! You see Ben is not afraid to say or do anything...he is who he is, no matter where you are or who you are talking to. So we are in the doctors office and the first thing he says, after the doc has left to go take a phone call from a plastic surgeon and then returns back to the room, "so why do they call them plastic surgeons...they don't work on plastic, nor do they really use plastic in their procedures?" To which our doctor replied, "I have no idea, but why didn't you ask that before I took the phone call." Then Dr. F asks us if we have had any bleeding, mind you Dr. F had asked us this same question when he had to leave to take the phone call and the nurse has already asked us this question twice, so Ben says, "you must really want to know the answer to that question, you've asked it 4 times." Then we are standing in the hallway going over billing, etc and Ben is looking at the pictures lining the walls...then I hear him say, "Glenn (that's the docs first name) are these your kids?" I mean seriously, he called the doctor by his first name, what is he thinking. Then Dr. F says, "oh yea, there are more pictures in my office, just go back and look." Finally, we noticed a black porsche being washed out in the parking lot before we came in for our appt...well come to find out it was Dr. F's...so Ben says to him, "is that your black porsche outside, because I think you should know they were doing donuts with it out in the parking lot." To which Dr. F responds, "oh that's okay, I do that occasionally too." So needless to say Dr. F is a good sport and doesn't mind Ben's inquisitive mind!! Oh gotta love em. And, of course, on our way out Ben grabs a handful of lollipops just like any good kid would.
