16 weeks

Oh baby, I hope you don't inherit my math sense.  Apparently just counting by the day of the week is not quite including all of the days so when I heard them say 16 weeks 2 days at my appointment this Friday I was suprised as I thought it was 15 weeks 6 days.  Doh!

We have a four week wait until the big ultrasound appointment.  I am wondering if I will be able to sit there for the hour without getting antsy- wow that is a long time.

This week we purchased a dresser-changing table for the baby room.  I had been scouting out options and came across a simple, vintage-ish dresser on sale.  It needs a little work... but Dan was just saying that he wants to do another furniture restoring project so now we have one. 

We met up with Darren and Lisa for dinner this week and it was funny how the conversation was weighted quite heavily on baby names (not by us I might add!) instead of things like motorcycle racing

Dan's 2 Cents:
Nothing makes you realize you are grownup like waiting for your wife's OB doctor to come in.  Seated in the chair staring at my slightly pregnant wife seated on the exam chair you begin to realize that even at 32 you feel so unprepared for what lies ahead.  You also hope that the kid is nothing like what I put my parents through cause that would be unfair...to me.  When the doctor comes in (only a few min late...not bad for a doctor) and she puts some Star Treky thing to listen to the baby's heartbeat you feel slightly queezy but not in a too much tequila way.  The parasite is becoming more human like everyday and soon we'll have a little boy or girl to share the rest of life's adventures with.  Also they can do the dishes...sweet.  As the baby is on track and doing great, I left the office knowing Tara and I will be able to handle it and just like the baby's parents...she/he will be awesome.
