it was so fun to see our tiny one moving around and being so gosh darn cute. the techs kept saying how beautiful everything was looking. "oh look at that diaphragm, that is a beautiful diaphragm." and basically our baby is cute & wildly energetic. i don't want to already be one of those parents who are like, "oh my child is soo perfect!" but really, we have one perfect little in there. and you know what, that makes me so happy & so relieved. i feel like i'm doing something right! i'm healthy, the baby's healthy. so we celebrated with some nachos.

ReplyDeleteaw thanks! i'm excited too. nervous, but definitely excited!
DeleteThat is a great ultrasound photo! Props to you on waiting until baby is born to find out the gender. I'm so excited to find out what we're having in a few weeks!
ReplyDeletep.s. I know how you feel about being a cliche parent who thinks their baby is the most perfect. Every time I see our ultrasound photo on our fridge I think that, hahaha.
So fun!! I love this post idea...I might have to steal it now, too, lol.
ReplyDeleteAren't ultrasound pictures the best? I'm glad the 3D ones freak you out, though, because they totally freak me out, too. :-)
haha good, i'm not the only one! i loooove ultrasound pics so much. and steal this post, it's so fun to do!
DeleteAh! There is NO WAY I could wait until birth to find out my babies gender. Kudos to you two! Haha
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so with you, the 3D ultrasounds freak me out. Haha
haha good because they are freaky! & it's something i've always wanted to do, so it's really cool that Nick's letting us wait!
DeleteI can't believe you are waiting to find out the gender! That is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to! and then i convinced Nick to wait, and so now i'm freaking out because i'm so excited!
