Milk Cow in the Making

On Wednesday we had our 20 week appointment, which was really exciting. We are having a little boy! When the Technician first started looking at the baby with the Ultrasound he was sitting Indian Style and was not showing us a thing. After a few minutes he grabbed his feet with his hands and pulled his legs up to his face, as if he were saying Peek-A-Boo. The technician examined all the babies organs and took his measurements. We got a kick out of watching the positions he would get in like putting his elbows on his knees and his feet in his face. The Dr said the baby looks wonderful but she also warned that she still saw some of the blood clot that caused the big scare a month an a half ago. She said I might still bleed so she said don't be too alarmed. Russell finally got to hear the babies heart beat and I was very entertained by him during the ultrasound. Instead of sitting in the chair and watching the screen I was watching Russell stood directly behind the technician and watched on her computer screen while pointing to different things asking what is that and is that normal? I have never in my life felt so relieved to go to the restroom since they make you have a completely full bladder for the ultrasound and then they push pretty hard. I have already started lactating and the Dr said while that is not common it is normal. She said that I shouldn't have any trouble with my milk coming in since I will get twenty weeks of practice lactation. Russ and I have agreed that I am a milk cow in the making!
