Okay, to clear up a little confusion, I was being a BRAT yesterday when I posted about Mose. Yes, Mose is Dwight's crazy cousin that lives on his beet farm. I was really just testing to see how many of you watch The Office. We would NEVER name our kid Mose. Although, when I researched to see if the name even existed, the name Moseph did come up. Someone out there must be using it if it exists on baby name websites. So yes, I was being a brat. :P

Our doctor's appointment was very productive yesterday. Not only did we get to see our baby's private parts, we also got an explanation for my bleeding several weeks ago. It seems that I have a cervical polyp. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but the doctor and Kendall both assured me that they are not like colon polyps that can be cancerous. It's simply something that grew in my cervix that can cause bleeding and has to be removed at some point. The doctor told me that most likely they will remove it at the time of delivery or sometime soon after. It does mean that I could still have some bleeding, but I shouldn't be concerned about it. And it could make my cervix feel funny to the nurses when they check me during labor. When they look at my strangely I'm going to tell them it's my twin they feel and then say, "When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered, that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe her tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown woman and a little baby." LOL!!!

Baby "M" is just fine though. No signs of Downs, all fingers, toes, arms, legs are there. The Nugget IS measuring about two weeks bigger than it's supposed to, with the head measuring at almost 21 weeks. I'm thinking extremely smart? Large brain? Painful to push out at 40 weeks?

I went to visit the our old neighbors today and their dogs crawled all over me. When I came home, Morrie couldn't stop sniffing my pants. He's so cute when he acts like that. He looks very intense and does that cute rapid sniffing thing that dogs do. Occasionally he comes back and takes some extra sniffs. I'd get it on video if it weren't for the fact that he'd run away in terror over the scary silver contraption.

I absolutely love the way you phrase things. Your writing and word choice is fantastic.

I'm glad you got an answer to the bleeding - so nice when you have an answer and know it's nothing to be concerned about. :) My coworker's wife just had some removed (yes. he apparently tells us about her "down there" health).

Wow, I had no idea you could get such a thing. Is it common? Hopefully that won't make healing after birth anymore painful than it kinda is.

Hoping for a smallish head. Sounds like maybe the due date will be adjusted?? What week are you really on according the docs?

I like how you phrase things too. :)

You totally fooled me with the Mose name. I have never seen the office, so I had no clue :)

Lots of catching up to do...

I love that you got so detailed with the origins of names for baby M. I'm also glad things are going well.

I wish my washer had a 'sanitary' setting. Alas, we're still using a shared laundry room in the building.

I guess if any of us do anything dumb we can blame it on the fact that we're old.

Finally, I hope that my e-mail earlier in the week counted as an early happy birthday. :-)
