I volunteered at my Ultrasound a couple weeks ago, to be a volunteer at a class for lab techs today. Jeremy came and I think that he regretted that he did. I thought it was pretty cool to see the little man's heart for an hour but not so much for Jeremy.
He said after,
"Nichole, If I would not have come. You would have gotten lost coming down here and then I would have received a call with you mad and frustrated that you could not find the place and yelling at me for not coming."
Which is probably true, so even though he was kinda bored, I am glad he came.
So now I know what it feels like to be a lab rat. I had about 10 lab techs and a teacher surrounding me and being amazed at left ventricles and right ventricles, the hockey stick, moving fingers. All terms I was not familiar with and was trying to tell the difference between each angle but I really couldn't. They kept telling me he had a beautiful heart so that was great!
I now believe that a pregnant woman on her back for a long time is not a good thing. I had read it but did not really believe it. But today, I started out on my back and after about 10 minutes, I had to tell the group that the model had to stand up or she was going to pass out. They all let me get up right away. I then laid on my side and felt much much much better.
The lady who asked me to volunteer was super sweet and gave me my very first baby present! Some cute little onesies and a board book. I love the onesies. I of course held them the whole way home and told Jeremy our little man was going to be in these one day. It is weird to think that I am going to be responsible for him in a few short months and I will have no one to give him back too. I am so used to giving babies back.
Another cute thing was a bunch of my students came up to me on Friday and asked me when I was due and if I was going to let them see the baby next year. I remember when one of my teachers was pregnant how excited I was and it is kinda neat to see the other side of it. I keep on going back and forth wether or not I am going to teach next year. That experience on Friday made me want to stay.
Until next time!
