This was an email I stole from Kevin, sharing Baby C pictures with the Charboneau family – it sums up our 20 week appointment and he gets to “guest blog” without even knowing it
We had our latest ultrasound this morning!
I look forward to these appointments with incredible excitement and near equal apprehension. I can’t wait to see the baby, but we also know if something is wrong, THIS is one of those few times we’d find out. The ultrasound is kind of my chance to visit with the baby since I don’t get to feel it move around all day. I don’t know why, but watching the baby wiggle around in there makes me feel like I’m getting to know the baby – personality and all – and for some reason I already have the impression this kid is going to be great… maybe I’m just really excited.
it? he/she?
well, we won’t be struggling with how we refer to the baby for much longer. Today the sex was determined. We asked the ultrasound tech to put the results in an envelope so we can do something special to reveal what we’re having. Finding out really early in the morning with Kelli on the table freezing from the ultrasound gel on her belly and a bladder so full she’s not sure she’ll make it to the restroom just didn’t seem like the most comfortable place to take in such big news. HOWEVER… we unfortunately have a hunch now, we think the tech may have stupidly ruined it for us. We were thinking of hosting a little reveal party after the new year, but now we’re thinking it would be nice for Kelli and I to open the envelope as a Christmas present. Now that we have that envelope in hand (and we think we already know what it says), I don’t think we can trust ourselves to wait very long – we want to know right now!
Check out the new photos.
Did I tell you my kid is pretty cool? This morning we got proof! Baby gave us a REAL thumbs up during the ultrasound and we got a photo of it. Baby must be letting us that everything is going just fine in there =)
