ultrasound appointment

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to tell you a little more about our ultrasound appointment this week. The pictures (see below), while amazing, don't do it justice...

First we had to wait a loooong 10 minutes while the technician measured different parts of the baby to make sure everything was OK, they don't show you anything on the screen during this time which was scary, but our technician was really friendly, she even remembered me from previous appointments when Baby Niner was still in the works! After awhile she turned on the big screen and there was the cutest little baby, moving all around, and then I realized, that's OUR baby! It was very cool.

The baby was sitting with its legs crossed, almost Indian style, and we tried to get a look at whether it was a he or a she. The technician said she knew so if it didn't cooperate she'd just tell us. She asked us what we thought and I said that I'd felt like it was a girl but when I dreamed about the baby it was always a boy. Soon thereafter he showed us, and it was very clear, the baby is a boy! She said 'your dreams came true!'

We were so happy and spend the next several minutes just watching him move around, he wiggled his toes, put his fingers in his mouth, and the technician pointed out things to us like his heart and stomach and his spine which was lined up with mine at the time with his feet down low and his head up high. He was breach but she said at this stage they move around all the time which we saw firsthand though I'm not feeling too much...yet!

Hard to believe the next time we 'see' him it will be on the day he's born - we can't wait!

Love you baby!
Mommy

I just have to say that I have been so excited about the arrival of this baby, that all my closest friends are also well informed about your progress. My friend Martha actually visits the site, she even voted for the sex of the baby and was anxiously awaiting "the big news" the day after your ultrasound appointment.
