First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
We had our ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks great with the baby! The baby was moving around a lot but we were able to see him/her yawn and swallow. We saw the heart beating - a nice strong beat. We saw the baby's big belly, to match mommy's! And we saw his/her leg. Oh, we did see some arm movements too! The baby is a bit on the big side, already weighing over 3 lbs. The size of the baby would move my due date up by a week to June 19th, but my doctor is not going to officially move it because she is just expecting a baby around 8 lbs or so. But the best part was seeing the baby's face in 3D! This wasn't available to us when we had Alex and Jenna. I didn't understand the image at first and was the last one in the room to get it. In my defense, the image was not nearly as clear as those you see in commercials or on TV. The baby was not giving a good shot of his/her face, so the image is not solid. But when I did understand what I was looking at, I instantly thought the baby looked just like Joe. After a couple of more pictures, Joe and I both agreed that the baby looks a lot more like Jenna than Alex. So of course, I am picturing a blond-haired, blue-eyed girl. But I told Joe that it would be funny if it turns out to be a brown-haired, brown-eyed boy with features like Jenna's - the perfect combination of Joe and I!! Ten weeks and counting!! My excitement builds every day! Oh, and I have laid down the law regarding names and told Joe he has until May 1st to complete his list. I have narrowed my list down to my top three choices for each gender, which Joe agrees with. So, I can rest just a bit easier now. We don't know if we will share the names or not. That just may be surprise too!
