survival mode

this week was all about the survival. luckily we did, ...survive. I got some kind of stomach virus or food poisoning on tuesday night in the wee hours, which was horrible. putting me out of commission for a full day of production week at work, which upped the craziness factor. but, in the end i lived, the baby is fine, and the magazine went out. And we'll all live happily ever after.
We also had our last (most likely) ultrasound of Peanut yesterday, lookin' good. currently 4.5 lbs, and about 17.5 inches "tall". The doctor's exact words were "Well, it certainly won't be the BIGGEST baby in the nursery". we didn't get to see nearly as much as we would have liked, mostly just kidneys, heart, and other organs, and the heart is the only one we could recognize. But it was really workin', and it was really cool to be able to see it so much more developed, before it looked like a blip on the screen, but now you can see the two separate chambers and everything. But we did get a cute "profile" picture of Peanut's face. Ben's convinced we only saw organs so that our gender surprise didn't get ruined. But we did also get to watch Peanut trying really hard to suck its thumb, except the aim's a little off... no thumb in the mouth yet. but sucking motion = check.

That's awesome about Peanut, but sucks that you had food poisoning! Glad you're feeling better and everything's fine. I've been out of commission for the past two days, too, with a fever. Something's definitely going around.
