Hairy baby, stable mama

Had my appointment today with my doctor.  Started out with an ultrasound and then met with the doctor.  My mom is still here and was able to take me there and got to see the little guy on the ultrasound, which was cool.

We saw that he has hair!  It looked like a little mullet, we could see wispies at the end of his neck floating in the amniotic fluid.  You can also get a view of it in this one on top of his head.  We also got a real straight on look at his face, which was equal parts cool and strange...so skeletal.  His foot was right next to his face right before this picture, but then he kicked (I felt it) and it disappeared. So far on each ultrasound he's either had his hands or his legs right next to his face. The nub next to his cheek a weird cross section of his arm.

The additional great news, other than that the baby is doing well, is that I've stabilized and haven't progressed any further.  My doctor happily wrote my note that I need in order to go back to work; I'm going to head back on Thursday after my mom (hopefully) flies home on Wednesday.  Right now we're expecting to get some snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we'll see about her flight.

It was winter in Colorado today for the first time, really; it was 70 degrees and sunny yesterday and today it snowed all day starting around 10 am.  Not too much of it stuck, but I think tomorrow's snow is supposed to be quite a bit more.
