Long awaited update...

(click on title to read entire post and comments)
Okay, so it's been a few months since the last post. No surprise, I ended up knitting September, Derm, and my sub-I away and postponed Step 2 of the boards until November 1. And luckily, despite my best efforts to knit away almost the entire week that I took off to prepare, I passed.

As of today I am officially done with all medical school exams and my required rotations! Whoo-hoo! Although as I was taking the Anesthesia test earlier this afternoon, I wasn't so sure today would be the end after all. Despite actually reading the book this time around, I haven't felt so helpless in an exam since USMLE step 1 second year. But luckily my wily abilities to make random guesses and recall 4th grade long division earned me more than the required 64%. Which strangely enough, means that I am for all intents and purposes, a...doctor? AHHH! Where did med school go?
So currently I am 34 weeks and doing well - look at how big I am!
Here are the ultrasound pictures at 23 weeks. The first is of the baby's face lying sideways. Yes...use your imagination...see the big eyes?
Next is the spine (no neural tube defects here...take that, spina bifida!)
And here's a foot. We've agreed it appears to be a mix of my long narrow feet and Ilya's nicely sloped toes.
And of course the incessant knitting continues... winter babies are fun. :)
Here's a pair of socks.
And a cotton bib...
Baby bunting, anyone? I enjoy that the hat is the exact same size as each arm.
Simon and David are busy preparing for the big arrival, too. So far they have their baby impressions down pat.
