Baby Oliver: No more photogenic than his/her parents


I don't have a scanner, so I took a digital picture of the ultrasound picture, which makes it appear even more blurry than it is.  But compared to some photos of me (i.e. my first driver's license photo), it isn't that bad.  The head is to the right, an arm bud is up, and the two bumps at the other end are legs.  Above the baby, the ultrasound tech typed "baby."  It's not just graffiti in my uterus.  Though how hard core would my kid be if s/he could tag the walls at 9 weeks!?!

Matt, who asked around and found my obstetrician, neglected to tell me that my doctor is foreign and tends to say whatever comes into his head.  The doctor was a little manic and wondered why I seemed anxious. :)  I was hoping that the first appointment for a first pregnancy would be reassuring, and I think he tried.  He told me I didn't need to do anything special while pregnant, just act like a normal human being.  Unfortunately, I think that using face wash with salicylic acid and eating lunch meat is normal human activity, and I'm not supposed to do either of those.  I think the doctor will be good after I get used to him.  All of the nurses and technicians were really nice, and I haven't met the other doctor in the practice yet.
