.ultra, ultra, ultrasound.

at my monthly appointment yesterday we were told that we have to go back and get ANOTHER ultrasound. we opted out of the 12 month and dating ultrasounds, so we thought the 20 week one would be our first and last. not so! baby was turned with his back facing my tummy so we needed to go back for a face shot. we went for the second one, and he was still facing the wrong way! the ultrasound tech had me do jumping jacks, and dance around and walk for 1.5 HOURS and lo-and behold, the baby turned! we were happy to be finished with the scan, but then yesterday we were told. "nope. they didn't get a good enough face shot, you have to go back"
i have a feeling they are getting us to come back so they can finally milk the $10.00 out of us for a picture. pffft. not going to happen. we are crossing our fingers that baby cooperates and stops being our crazy rebel child, so they will stop sending us back to the clinic. we'll keep you posted on our next one!

in other news, i got my toe surgery done finally after 4 months of needing the surgery. my midwives said yes, since i am lower risk now in the 2nd trimester. it was pretty nasty. the freezing hurt SO badly. i thought it would be like the dentist, a walk in the park. but it was brutal. now i have this huge black gaping hole in my toe and if i walk on it, it throbs and starts to crack open and bleed like niagra falls. its been nice having 2 days off work to recoup.

want to see a picture of it?

okay, so i don't want to show anyone an actual picture. cause it is seriously barf-a-riffic. but i cover the bandage with one of the future baby's little duckie socks.


also, being home the past two days, i've been able to sit up to my table and re-finish my dining room chairs finally! see, i don't just sit home and watch netflix when i am sick........ okay, so i may have seen 8 episodes of Portlandia yesterday, but at least i got something useful done!
