growing baby

Ilya and I will be going to our first ultrasound appointment tomorrow. I’m very excited–and nervous. The past several days have felt like just a countdown to this moment: the conference presentation, teaching, working on a mortgage refinance, it’s all felt just like ways to occupy my time until the ultrasound rather than things that are vital in and of themselves. Anyway, I’m hoping that tomorrow will bring good news and that we’ll see an egg sack happily implanted in my uterus. Let’s hope so!
