cheeks

this week we hit the beginning of month 9...that's right, 4 more weeks (cross our fingers). we've moved up to seeing dr kav every week now. shes a hoot and we truly enjoy every visit with her. B has gone to every SINGLE appointment with me, for everything, minus the blood glucose test, what a GREAT husband he is. he's been so supportive of everything, all my cravings, little moments of breakdowns and desperation. he truly knows how to make me smile when i'm mad and even though i act like i hate him for it, i love him even more. he helps with the chores without me having to ask, he builds sheds for my artwork, cooks dinner on the weekdays i'm too tired, goes out to food without me and without dragging his feet, he's truly amazing and i am so very lucky. i couldn't of chosen a better partner for life.

anyway...back to the dr visit we had yesterday...we waited an hour! but she's worth the wait and is ALWAYS running late (she's popular and the head of the whole department). while waiting we had a funny visit with our social worker we see everytime we go in and she kindly reminded us that baby could come at any point now... O.O once we get to see dr kav, she asks me how i'm feeling and i tell her im puffy, tired, my stomach is the size of a yogurt container and my food doesn't digest and she goes 'isn't that fun?' ahaha. all normal signs everything is fine. we hear his heart beat, he wiggles around and makes her do a little work to get a strong reading. he's always wiggling around, i can see when he shifts and rolls his position, it's so trippy. most of the time his butt is in my right rib :) (and he wiggles it alot!) i had the nurse bring in the sonogram machine since we hadn't seen him for probably 6 weeks and actually never confirmed he was infact a boy, which crossed both our minds recently. it's funny how much harder it is to see baby when hes all crammed up in there, running out of space with only 4 weeks left. the first thing we saw were his adorable cheeks. so round. then he wiggles his nose! B and i were tickled inside. he moved his hand around in front of his face. dr checked his bottom and he IS infact a BOY...so clearly obviously and as all the weekly updates i get via email and phone applications say, he's balls have descended down...hahahaha, obviously. she went back to his face and was in awe of how big his cheeks were...and looked at me and said, he looks like you :D both B and i had puffy baby cheeks (well me, still) it was so very cool to see baby jack. i can't wait to see him in the real, but i can wait 4 more weeks...i already feel so much love for that little guy. <3 cheeks

in two weeks, i'll be on leave and getting ready for baby baby baby.
