The Kid and I

Sorry for the inefficent manner of posting this picture. I thought Sister Denise had a scanner, she does not. I didn’t want to wait until we got home to share the newest photo with everyone, so I got creative.

The red arrow shows not only where the gestational sac is but also where the little ones had is. The rest of the anatomy (sans the “secret of secrets”) can be kinda figured out. It was good to see it moving, Tammi can even feel it from time to time.

The doctor gave quite a scare. After a four hour wait last Sunday, the doctor said that he was worried about Tammi’s loss of weight and what he thought was small uterus. So we were scheduled for and ultrasound the NEXT DAY! In the states if the doctor was worried the shi...stuff would get taken care of that day!

So we went through the next on autopilot until our appointment at 5 pm. We arrived, waited some more and were finally seen. The doctor started the scan, he immediately saw movement, and said “Good, I was worried I wouldn’t see that.” Nini-TF? That seems like a possibility he could have shared with us the previous day! Then the real ultrasound technician showed up and did the measurements. Everything was right where it should have been! 15 weeks, dead on.

We have a theory that the doctor knew that two nervous “mzungus” would gladly pay for an ultrasound to see if there first born child would be fine.

Or we could just be bitter.

Times like that makes one feel far from home.
