35 Week Ultrasound

We saw our little one again yesterday, and once again, she would not show her face.

Actually, she sort of showed her face, but as she's running out of room, it was squished up against my pelvic bone and quite frankly the 3D ultrasound made her look like Dobby from Harry Potter.

All an all, a 35 week ultrasound is not nearly as exciting as our 10 and 20 week ultrasounds, where you could actually see something. But, the doctor said she looks great. As of yesterday she weighed 5 pounds and 7 ounces.

One month from today she's due... we can't wait.

A Sign? Or a Prank?

I've decided someone at Judy's Family Farm in Sonoma County was really bored one day and decided to mess with a consumer or we are having twins and the second little one has remained hidden during two previous ultrasounds. I'm positive it's the former, however, after the events of the past week, I'm a little suspicious.

It started last Monday. I typically start my day with two eggs and a piece of toast.

I cracked open the last egg from a previous carton and it was a perfectly lovely egg, with a single yolk. I then cracked open an egg from a new carton and it had a double yolk. An interesting surprise, as I've never personally seen an egg with a double yolk. I started writing an email to my handsome husband with a photo of the egg and a subject line that said "Twins?", but then decided I might scare him, so I changed the subject line as not to freak him out.

Tuesday morning was a bit more of a shock... two eggs... BOTH with double yolks. Now I was starting to think that it was a sign, but a sign of what?

Wednesday I was too scared to make eggs, so no egg developments on Wednesday.

Thursday morning... one normal and one with a double yolk. Are you kidding me? 4 of 5 eggs have had double yolks? Was someone messing with me?

Friday morning... two double yolks, again! 6 of 7 eggs?!?! And then, at work, I received an email from my husband, who had made eggs for lunch. The email contained a photo of one normal and and one double yolked egg with a note that said 7 of 9. It was starting to freak the husband out and he didn't want to eat them.

Saturday morning... again, TWO DOUBLE YOLKS. We couldn't believe it. 9 of 11 of the eggs had yielded double yolks.

Sunday morning... one egg remaining. I had to make an egg, just to know the status of that last egg. Alas, it only had a single yolk. 9 of 12.

Three quarters of the dozen eggs had double yolks. Someone at Judy's Family Farm just HAD to be messing with us. However, when my doctor ordered an additional ultrasound today to check on the position of the baby, I must admit that I found I was looking forward to confirming that there is only one little one awaiting us...
