I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant, with an estimated due date of June 16, 2009. So far we've had two ultrasounds (the latest just this morning) and heard the heartbeat twice, plus a host of blood tests, etc., and so far, everything is looking good.
This morning at our 13 week NT scan (a type of ultrasound) we watched he/she/it run through the full complement of fetus tricks, including sucking his thumb, yawning, stretching, twisting and turning, and what might have been waving. The Lentil (as we are calling it) is not, however, a particularly cooperative baby, and it took about 20 minutes of prodding to convince him to get into the right position for the scan.
(We wanted to post our latest ultrasound pictures here, but the very surly technician refused to print us copies. My regular doctor promised he'd get me some when I see him in two weeks.)

Everyone in the LA area should check out the Red Rabbit Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair, with work for sale by 27 local artists including my mom. The event is held in the Descanso Gardens in La Canada and is free with garden admission ($8) so you can come to the show, buy local for the holidays, and then enjoy walking around the gardens, which are decorated for Christmas.
