GO GATORS!

Hi! I'm Lil Duck!
Mom and Dad set up this blog so that everyone can see, hear, read and experience what our growing family is going through. I'm pretty sure that we're going to send updates regularly - sometimes me, sometimes Mom and sometimes Dad - but I'm new around here, so I'm not really sure. Plus I lost the Rock/Paper/Scissor contest, so I'm first. =o)
We all went to see Mom's GYN, Dr. Brennan on Monday, May 11 and we ALL finally got to meet. They seem pretty cool actually. He's always smiling and she cries (but good cries, ya know) -what's up with that?!! But they seem like great people. Dr. Brennan referred Mom & Dad to another doctor that specializes in delivering babies. I think its an Obstitution or maybe Obstegenarian or something... but I just call her an OB. Her name is Dr. Lipsitz and we all have an appointment with her on May 19. Dr. Brennan seems to think that a possible due date would be January 5, 2010 but we think that Dr. Lipsitz will give us a more definitive answer.
Mom had to have blood work done for Dr. Brennan on May 11 just to make sure everything was ok. I don't like that lady sticking Mom like she did, but turns out everything is just fine. Dr. Brennan wanted to make sure that, well, #1 Mom was preggers (they found me on the Ultrasound so, um, DUH!) and #2 she wanted to be sure that Mom's progesterone levels were doing well. Looks like everything is great because well, Mom IS preggers and it's progressing just fine and her progesterone levels are (to quote Dr. B) "fantastic". {Side note - Apparently there were some problems in the past with Mom's progesterone levels when Mom & Dad were first trying to get pregnant years ago, that was just one thing that Dr. B wanted to be sure to check. And all is well!}
Mom has been doing pretty well. She's been napping more lately. She seems to feel sea sick from time to time, but I dunno why. I mean, it's not like she's on a boat or anything, but whatever..... Dad bought Mom her first Mother's Day card on Sunday and she cried (cuz well, Mom's a crier)!! She does that more often now.
Dad is doing great, spoiling Mom like crazy! He's doing so much to keep the stress off of Mom, which helps me out ALOT!! He is definitely The Man!!! He rubs his head alot here lately.... I'm not really sure what that means, but something tells me if he keeps it up, he's gonna look like Kojak! I like the silver hair though... I might call him the Silver Fox from time to time...
Gamma, Gaga and Auntie Carol sent Mom 2 Mother's day cards, and well, Mom cried. They were really sweet though. Mom is in search mode for the card that Auntie Carol gave her years and years ago when they got engaged that said "When are you gonna make me an Aunt?!". I think she wants bookends or something.... I dunno, like I said, I'm new around here..... =o)
I've put the folks in charge of putting a few pictures up. See I don't exactly have fingers yet, so having them around really helps me out a bunch!! This is what I look like - between 6 to 7 weeks - about the size of a Lentil Bean. The first one is a cleaned up version of what I would look like if you saw me with an awesome microscope. The second one is the picture that we had taken when we all first met. I'm floating somewhere in the circle. Please be patient with the folks - they're kinda new at this stuff too.....
Hope to catch up with everyone real soon!!!
Love to you all....
