  • It’s a… (Spoiler Alert!)

    This is the appointment we’ve been anticipating since that stick showed two pink lines on it; the day we get to try to determine what gender offspring is.

    Since this will be our first attempt at determining the gender of offspring, Monica invited her mom along just in case offspring cooperated with us. Offspring was very accommodating, bordering on exhibitionist. OK. You ready?
    We’re going to have a boy! Here are a number of pictures for you, the last one will embarass offspring for the rest of his life.

  • Baby Needs Earplugs

    Monica had a busy day in clinic today and didn’t get to eat much which made her feel light-headed. She didn’t want to drive home from the clinic until she felt better so she paid the baby a visit via ultrasound. I think the baby has its fingers in its ears in the second picture.

  • That’s One Active Child

    Monica and I had an evening free so we decided to sneak into the clinic and take a look at our baby-to-be.
    Monica got the ultrasound machine warmed up, slathered on some of that goo, then drove the ultrasound wand around, showing me the various parts of our offspring. We could see the heart beating, which was really cool, but the most impressive thing – at least to me – was just how much this child moves. He… she…whichever… stretches, twirls, and kicks; I had no idea that babies were so active in-utero. It was frequently hard to get a good look at fingers or toes because offspring kept moving. It was a lot fun being able to see our baby, it kind of makes the reality of the coming addition to our life even more real. We’ve got a little less than three week before our ultrasound to determine the baby’s gender; I hope offspring is more cooperative and less restless then.

  • Baby’s Getting Bigger

    Monica paid the baby a visit via ultra sound again today and came home w犀利士
    ith three new pictures. You can clearly see the outline of a tiny human and can see fingers, toes, arms and legs pretty clearly. Monica said the baby wiggled and turned for her while she was running the ultra sound on herself. She’s (He’s?) about four inches long now and has working joints. She’s also “breathing” amniotic fluid to help develop the air sacs in her lungs.

  • Baby’s First Doctor Visit

    Monica had her first doctor’s appointment today and received a clean bill of health along with some suggestions for reducing her morning sickness. She also was given an ultra sound so, without further ado, here’s the baby’s second picture:

  • Baby’s First Picture

    Monica will be at the nine-week mark this Wednesday and asked Dr. Diehl (aka Jenny) to run an ultrasound on her yesterday. I think this is the second attempt at an ultrasound with the first attempt revealing nothing. Yesterday’s session had better results with our Blobble being visible. Here’s the baby’s first picture:
