I had to go back to the doctor's on Monday for a follow-up ultrasound. When we were there last week, the kid was not in a cooperative mood and wouldn't let the tech get a look at her heart or a clear shot of the nose and lips. So, back I went for an hour of fairly uncomfortable contortionism, but clear views of the heart were obtained and a "good enough" look at the lips and nose. Apparently the kid likes yoga, because her knees were touching her nose and her feet were over her head. I'm thinking we might continue with the yoga training after birth to maintain that flexibility. I'd post updated photos, but we haven't scanned them yet, so be on the lookout for those in the (hopefully) near future.
At this point, we are 22 weeks along, and I am feeling much better. The nausea is pretty much gone, but I am experiencing some major heartburn/indigestion every night, so the bottle of Tums is my new best friend. Otherwise, it's just business as usual. My energy is down in the morning, but up and pretty perky in the afternoon and evenings. I was born a night owl, so I guess things don't change very much. We've started a list of names, and keep adding to it. Someday we are going to have to start whittling things down, but for right now, our list keeps growing. Hopefully we'll get to the hospital with a fairly short list and are able to take care of the naming situation without too much fuss.
But in the meantime, we continue work on the guest room/nursery, where Kevin is resistant to some of my more stellar decorating ideas, but I persevere, nonetheless. I have some time to get around objections, so wish me luck!
