The picture isn't the greatest- on the right is the head and then you can see the ("loooong") spine at the bottom of the picture:
What cracked me up was that the baby kept crossing its little legs when it posed for a picture! That is a total John pose:
So, with the long spine and the crossed legs, looks like we have a mini John on our hands! HOWEVER, my placenta is anterior and that is supposedly seen more often with a girl! The midwife was unable to get a good look, but we have our anatomy scan in three weeks and we should find out then! Or, I will. John still doesn't want to know.
It was such an incredible thrill to see this little creature bouncing around inside of me! I can't help but have a sense of pride knowing that I'm growing a little person! It's really the coolest thing I've ever done!
On a less happy note, I have cholecystitis. I saw my Va OB on Monday and was running a fever at the time with terrible right upper quadrant pain and nausea. She wanted to send me to the surgeon right then and there, but I was leaving Tuesday to come up here. She made me promise I would see someone up here right away, and I did. But, it looks like my gallbladder is going to have to come out, and soon. I had cholecystitis about seven years ago and saw a surgeon who told me having surgery would not necessarily relieve the pain I had been having (What kind of surgeon says things like that?). So, I decided to wait it out. The surgeon did tell me that if I ever got pregnant, I would definitely have to have surgery. I guess he was right. Grumble, grumble. I DO NOT want to have surgery! But, you know what they say: nothing heals like cold steel...
