Yesterday, we got to see our baby for the first time at the ultrasound! The entire day leading up the appointment, I was a ball of nerves, anxiety and anticipation. Part of me was worried we wouldn't be allowed to see the baby for one reason or another, or the sonographer would be a grouch and not appreciate the emotions attached to this momentous pregnancy milestone.
Kim, the sonographer, was actually incredibly nice...and patient, because apparently our little monkey was moving the entire time, making it challenging to get all the right images for the doctor. This meant that the exam took longer than a typical ultrasound; Babydaddy was so excited and nervous, he peed twice during the half-hour wait before he was called into the room.
Once he was standing at my side, Kim turned the monitor to us and showed us our baby for the first time. The first glimpse I got was a tiny, adorable bottom. "It has your bum, honey!" I said. But the baby moved before Babydaddy could even focus. From there, it laid on its back and wiggled around, moving its arms. What struck me was how long its legs appeared. Babydaddy is definitely long in the trunk, but I'm mostly tall in the legs; the baby appears to have taken after me. Point Mommy!
We bought a sample of photos and promptly showed them off to our parents...apparently grandmas like feet or "feetsies" as they're also known. My dad was impressed by the baby's straight spine and Babydaddy's dad "mistook" the lower leg for a penis. Oh baby!
