I'm sure most of you reading this know, but just over a year ago I left my job at Merck (not by choice but due to a layoff) and thankfully got hired to work for Qiagen, a company that makes diagnostic tests. Due to this, I now call on Ob/Gyns, which is a welcome change to calling on primary care docs (who are too busy to talk to reps and too pulled in 20000 directions to care). Anyway, now that I am pregnant it is fun to talk to the nurses and docs about this, and today I had a lunch and was mentioning that I cannot wait to see my baby again (I have a doc appointment myself on Thursday) but that I wasn't sure if I would get an ultrasound since I'm only 16 weeks along. Well the doc offered to do an ultrasound right then & there! SO NICE! I figure once I start to show more (still only look bloated) I will get more offers like this. My mom is concerned that ultrasounds might hurt the baby, but I was assured that it is only sound waves and it does no harm! Just a little picture to what's going on in there. Anyway, baby Peden was moving a lot today (might be because I ate some jalapeno chips with my sandwich at lunch) and even waved to me today. SO CUTE. Baby is measuring 17 weeks (even though I'm only really 16 weeks) so it looks like he/she has had a little growth spurt!
I still haven't felt any movements but I know it's coming since the baby is moving around like crazy in there.
Days like today- I LOVE MY JOB!
