The L.A. Dime

So…we had our five month ultrasound Friday with Dr. Silverman, now of Tori and Dean Inn Love fame. In case you didn’t know (and good for you if you didn’t) Tori Spelling, shunned Dwight Shroot-style by her deceased TV magnate daddy, now has her own husband, her own show, her own B&B, and her own bun in the oven. I’m only aware of this because my celeb-devouring wife watches the show, and let out a wicked scream when Donna Martin herself entered the offices of our doctor. Of course, I was called down to watch. Dr. S is a great guy, and said Tori is good to his staff or he’d never let her film the visits.

As for our little one, everything looks fantastic. He/she is still bouncing around like crazy inside the womb, but isn’t camera shy at all, and posed nicely for some face shots and even a “thumbs up,” which you can see near the end of this video. The full ultrasound is 30 minutes long, but this is just a 10 minute excerpt. There are some great closeup shots of the heart — ventricles, valves, and all.

While Tina has been feeling little bumps inside her belly for over a month, which she says are like little bubbles brushing against her insides, I felt a big one myself for the first time on the way to the Doctor. It was quite an amazing experience to get this little, “hello, don’t worry,” en route to an event that proved so devastating for us last August. Knowing what can go wrong during a pregnancy despite all the love, all the medicine, and all the folic acid and omega 3 fatty acids in the world, makes the time we are enjoying right now all the more special. And we are enjoying it, without taking anything for granted, and without forgetting.
