We'll start with pictures from our 20-week ultrasound and news that our first child will be a BOY!!!
Our adventure starts with pictures of his face, which as you can see isn't flattering with the deep scanning capacity of today's technology.
Definitely his father's son, our little guy was fairly uncooperative at first, comfortable in his snug, fluid-filled world, but the technician was finally able to get him to turn around. This gave us a beautiful profile shot.
We examined and measured his head, going down slice by slice through his brain and spine. We measured his arms and legs, and then it was time to peek between his legs. We found some obvious signs that our little guy is a guy.
I am quickly becoming a duplex, and will upload photos as evidence when I get another crack at a camera or scanner. Watching my belly grow and stretch at this point is slow and itchy work. I have days when I we are obviously really growing, because I sleep more and spend every waking moment starved.
The best part of all of these long doctors visits (mostly spent waiting to see the doctor) is that I know my little guy is growing healthy and at the expected rate.
On the work front, I am finally starting to catch up with the load created from almost two weeks of morning sickness. The real challenge will be to get through the big projects before I pop.
I have had my first official client under my new company, Scribe Graphic Design. This afforded us the treat of new matching recliners, which will be delivered tomorrow in time for the next new episode of Lost. And, it will make up for any time I might lose during my maternity leave.
Well, that is the short version of what happened, and the hour is late. I will update more later. I am sure there are other stories and general opinions to throw out there.
