Our kid

We just got back from the ultrasound, and yes, we have a real live baby! Only 11-ana-half weeks along, but we had to have it done because the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat last week. But there the little tyke was, all happy to perform and dancing around for us, saying "Looky! Here I am! I was just sleping! Over here!"

I now have to be completely honest. When other expectant parents have shown me ultrasound pictures in the past, I have never actually seen the baby. They'll point and say stuff like "See? There's the face!" and I'll nod my head and smile. But really, it's like those stereoscopic pictures tha were all the rage a few years back that looked like a snow/no picture problem but supposedly created a fantastic image of a sailboat when you crossed your eyes just right; I never ever saw the sailboat, and I never ever saw the baby.

But now that it's *OUR* baby? Yeah, I totaly see it! Right there! Dancing around nd turning to face the camera and WOW IT'S A BABY!!!

That is the perfect icon to use considering how much the baby danced for us :)

no doubt dancing because he/she just found out who her parents are and that Daddy has the coolest toys!

Awesome! Admittedly, it's easier to see the baby when you can watch them move on the moitor. Brings it all into perspective. :)

I'm so happy for you guys. :)
