Here is our first ultrasound at the end of 6 weeks (August 25). Baby is only 2mm but the heart is beating strongly at 100 beats per minute. Jeff and I are so excited. I don't know if Jeff is ever really nervous, but I am for sure. I have no less than 6 apps telling me the baby's progress and growth. Today is week 6 day 6 and supposedly baby is the size of a blueberry now. Growing at 1mm per day. Arm and leg buds are starting to sprout. My next appointment is September 22. By then I will be 10 weeks. Due date is April 20. I always wanted a spring baby.I wonder if the baby is a boy or girl. I wonder how everything the baby needs will fit in our little bitty house. I wonder if we will be able to get new windows before baby comes. I wonder if I will be obviously pregnant or just look fat. I wonder how anyone can afford a baby, because it seems so daunting. I don't think i'll mind being pregnant, and having the baby in our arms will be wonderful, but the birth part... I cannot imagine. All I want is fruit. Mm, caprese salad sounds good too though. I wonder how I will be able to work and take care of the baby at the same time. Maybe I will hide the baby under my desk. I wonder how I will be able to teach our baby Korean, when I don't even speak it well myself. I need to think of a name. I want to get our 2nd bedroom cleaned out and move everything down stairs and organize the basement. We need to get rid of the broken christmas tree that has been sitting down there all year. Baby things are so cute. I don't know how we will be ready in time; there is so much to do.
I know Jeff is going to be a great dad. He is already a good dad to George. He is so patient and loves us very much. Last night I wasn't feeling good so I went to bed early. When Jeff came to bed, he kissed me and said "thank you for taking care of our baby" and I said "thank you for taking care of me". I can't wait to see the product of our love. I hope our baby is calm and sweet and cute and cuddly and smart and well-behaved and healthy.
