Typical appointment

Ticker update : 21weeks 0 days today.

Baby is the size of a pomegranate.

Dr. appointment tomorrow, I'm sure they will just do the same ol boring stuff they always do.

Step 1- pee in a cup w/o peeing on your hand. Write your name on said cup. Put it in this secret. magic compartment in the wall (this is where they steal it from the other side!)

Step 2- wait 20 minutes in waiting room, conveniently called

Step 3- nurse weighs you on a fancy digital scale

Step 4- nurse takes your blood pressure

Step 4- nurse grabs the doppler stick, finds the lil dude's heartbeatbeat and says 

"149 bpm, sounds like a horse galloping huh?"

Step 5- Dr. comes in and I ask her if it's safe for me to highlight my hair while I'm pregnant (I'm planning on asking anyway...)

Step 6- make appointment for my week 24 check up. Leave.

Total: 20 minutes wait and 10-15 minute visit.

I wish I could hold a microphone and receiver to the baby and ask him questions too

I would ask him--

-When is your birthday? 

(this would come in really handy in planning certain events...)

-Who do you look like?

-Are you more like me? or Mister Daddy?

-What is your name?

-When are you going to move/kick/sucker punch me hard enough for other people to feel it too?

-Are you going to get confused with having your GG Grandma, 

my mom and Mister Daddy's mom all being called Nana?

-Can you really hear my voice? and other things? 

If you can, what do you like to listen to? so I can play it more often...

-I saw on National Geographic that babies have REM sleep. 

-If that is the case, what do you dream about?

Please tell me you're going to be a good baby...Mister Daddy would really appreciate that.

And I would answer his question's too. It's only fair.
