Show me the baby!

So I'm really excited about the appointment that we have coming up in 5 days, mostly because I think this whole baby process is about to get very tangible finally. You see, for me thus far, this whole having a baby process has been largely theoretical up until now. Sure I believe we're having a baby, but I wasn't the one with morning sickness, or swollen body parts, or inexplicable weight gain, or the bladder of a squirrel. No, for me the changes have largely been related to running more errands, or dealing with bouts of pregnancy hormone attacks.

So like I said, I'm pretty pumped to see some arms and legs, to count some toes, to make some twig and berries jokes, and more than that to just actually begin dreaming about what this new human entering our lives is going to be like. You know, are we going to play tea party or cowboys and Indians? Am I building tree houses or doll houses? Am I saving up for a wedding or (if he follows after his dad and uncles) bail money? Do I need to worry about one penis, or ALL the penises in the world.

Scary.

But fun at the same time. I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep Sunday night. The coolest part will definitely be to settle on a name. I'm big on names and there will be more on this later so stay tuned.
