So, I just got back from a doctor’s appointment. Today was all about testing: I had a quickie ultrasound and then the baby’s heart was monitored. Last week the appointment took forever b/c the baby had hiccups and was moving around too much, and we couldn’t get a good reading. (I had to just lie there for 45 minutes – and I couldn’t even read! The technician took my magazine away from me b/c she thought that would help the baby relax. Whatever.) Today was a lot smoother. The baby was very calm – although active enough to get a good reading – and I was able to catch up on my celebrity gossip (“Life & Style”) while listening to the heartbeats. My technician commented that everything looked perfect – and we obviously had the model child. (That really made me laugh. I’m not sure how that’s possible, given the parents.) Another highlight was getting to – very briefly – see the baby’s profile (which I’ve only seen once before). The technician  noted that she had chubby cheeks, and all I could think about was those mini Snickers I’ve been eating like crazy! (It’s Q’s fault. He bought them for me!)

I used to be obsessed with Owen, the baby on the old Fox show “Party of Five” - and only because he was this blubbery little thing. Fat babies are just the cutest, and I used to always say to friends: ‘if I ever have a baby, it better be fat!’ So… it seems like Sesame is doing her part to ensure a fat baby will be mine! Maybe she is a model child, after all…
