I had an early ultrasound today, and everything is just as they like to see. The yoke sak is healthy, the baby’s heartbeat is strong. (yes, ONE baby. I made the lady do a sweep of the place twice to make sure there was just one!) To guide those who don’t read these well, the black part is the amniotic sac (I think…I really could easily get this all wrong.) Of the “clump” in the sac, the baby is laying horizontally, with the head on the right, and the bum on the left, and the little yolk sac just below that is supporting the baby until the placenta is fully ready to go in not too long. If you look hard, you can see little arm buds starting to form, right on target for where he/she should be right now. This ultrasound gave the same due date as the doctor: December 19th. My NFP charts gives me the date of December 15th, and since I usually go early, I’d lean in that direction.
On a different note, here are finally some pictures of Silje’s school program.
Elias liked to look at the program!
Here’s Silje doing her reading about lightbulbs. The whole theme was on “going green.” As adorable as the kids were, it was a very…we’ll say: “interesting” program.
Here’s all the kindergarteners on the risers.
After the program, Silje’s teacher, Mrs. B, did a special program and little snack and activity for the Moms for Mother’s Day. It was so cute, I had to get a little video of part of Silje singing in the classroom:

May 7, 2010 at 8:47 pmI was experimenting with new backrounds, and there was one I didn’t like cause you couldn’t see much, but then everything got busy, and I didn’t have a chance to fix it for an hour or so! It should be better now!
(This is actually Gretchen, not Knut…like he ever writes on the blog! Ha!)
