Oops, They Did It Again

Quick....Who's the most observant of the loyal Russellbaby.com readers? You might have noticed that the "Next Appointment" date changed from June 23 to June 27. Leah called her doctor's office today to inquire about setting an appointment time for her next one in July (we didn't wanna wait, because we're trying to plan around it). The person said, "Oh, we were in the process of contacting you about your next appointment. Your doctor is taking a vacation, so we need to reschedule." Uhhhhh.....OK. Let's work around this apparent last minute doc demand (I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation) and go with the flow. They wanted to move it to Friday, but being in the banking business, Friday wasn't really a good day for Leah to be out. So Monday it is. We've actually got the July one set already (which is the 20 week appointment, which means.........(drumroll please)........the ultrasound! That's right, hopefully that day will determine pink or blue, golf clubs or dancing shoes, wedding or rehearsal dinner. What is that day, you ask? Well, you'll have to check back!

We had a little bit of a "sickness" episode this week. Leah hasn't had any morning sickness to speak of, so it was kinda weird when Leah called me at work one day from the bank and said, "I got sick this morning." Even though morning sickness usually subsides by the end of the 1st trimester, it does affect some women later in the pregnancy, so I wasn't sure what it meant. I was thinking what a bummer it would be to have to deal with it after things have been so smooth thus far. But in the end, the culprit was apparently a chicken biscuit from Burger King. We have no idea what caused it, but that was the only real difference in her usual morning diet selection. So basically, she just made mental note to avoid it for the remainder of her pregnancy. She felt better as the day went on, and there haven't been any more episodes since.
