We started the day off with my first ultrasound. At 6 weeks, teeny, teeny tiny Baby Higginbotham is now 3.8 mm long--about the size of an ice cream sprinkle. The doctor magnified the ultrasound and then magnified it some more, so we were able to see the faint flicker of a heartbeat. I have one more ultrasound at 8 weeks, and then I'm discharged to my regular doctor.
I'm feeling pretty good so far--a little tired and extra hungry. The doctor saw that I have two ovarian cysts that are resolving themselves, so I'm hoping that's why I'm feeling more pregnant than I am at this point. And by "pregnant," I mean fat.
After Baby Sprinkle's photo shoot, mom & I took the other little Higginbotham for a photo shoot of her own. I bribed Tess with an egg full of jellybeans if she would give pretty Easter smiles for the camera. The result: photos of a terrified Tess with a timid, forced smile. She tried really hard, but I never get great studio pics of her. She looked heavenly in her Easter dress, though. I'll post her photo when I get them back.
Since Dipsy left, our spring temps have soared into summer range! I told Tess that we could get the sprinkler out after her nap. As soon as she woke up, the first words out of her mouth were: "Sprinkle time!"
Let the sprinkling begin!
Blossom petals swirling all around!

This makes me miss my Tessie Big Girl SO MUCH! That was such a thrill to see Baby Sprinkle yesterday. I kept thinking about him/her all day long. By the way, how's Wendy doing? Praying you'll be back to 100% real soon, Wendy. Love, Dipsy
Grass? Sprinkler? Swirling flower petals? AAAARRRGH, I am JEALOUS!
Love your blog header. Time for you to give me some tips, I can never get mine to fit the way I'd like!
Baby Sprinkle is the sweetest thing. I think it's a boy!
I'm happy for you and your growing family. I hope you call if you need anything.
