we met with our new doctor today. i felt comfortable with her immediately, and am very happy that she'll be with us for the remainder of the pregnancy.
the big fun of the day was our 2nd ultrasound. i was really surprised with how much the baby has already grown. when we last saw it, it was only a (brilliant) peanut with a heartbeat. today it actually looked like a baby. we could easily discern its head, arms and legs on the screen. the most amusing part was when the doctor ran the ultrasound 'thingy' over the baby it wiggled around flailing its arms and legs. it seemed to me a very intentional action, as though it were annoyed at being so rudely disturbed. this intentional action has only confirmed my previous thought that my baby is brilliant. 12 weeks old and it already has 'annoyed' down. since 'it' is an impersonal name, and my brilliant baby wiggles so well, i've taken to calling it 'wiggly'.
in addition our due date was set at november 21st. craig is quite pleased with this date, as it is well before christmas and he is determined to provide the child with the opportunity for both a birthday, and a christmas. having myself been born in march, i never had to worry about the two events being combined - but as craig was born on january 5th he is aware of the possibility.
