The kids

I saw my new doctor for the first time today and got to have another ultrasound. Baby looks good and healthy. The 2 short white lines on the right are the lower leg bones of one of the legs. There's a hand up by the chin and the arm is sticking out from that. We find out the sex in 5 weeks!
Finally, a recent picture of Jack! Every time I ask him if he wants a little sister or a little brother he says "no sister! no brother!" Hmmmm not much I can do about that now!

Bodyworlds

I haven't been doing much lately. Still feeling fairly crappy. This pregnancy seems worse than the first. The days are getting a little better and the evenings a little worse. Kudos to those of you who can do this more than twice. I am already anxious for it to be over. But I think that's because I am not so nervous about the end result this time! Just excited for Jack to have a sibling. I am hoping the end of the nausea/feel like doing nothing phase is near and I can get back to normal. I've got a room to paint! (As soon as we find out what it is!)
We did manage to make it to the Bodyworlds exhibit last weekend. I have been looking forward to this for about 6 months. It was fantastic. So much better than anatomy class. It was fascinating and amazing. I highly recommend it, especially if you are at all interested in anatomy. There are great exhibits of all of the organs, normal and abnormal. There are also explanations with each exhibit that tell you what you are looking at. Great learning opportunity! As for the "gross" factor.....most are encased in glass and it wasn't hard for me to sort of disassociate and forget that they were real. I was too busy being fascinated.
