Our Little Man on the Way!

So I am sure that every mother-to-be wants to just talk and talk about their baby and tell everyone about their ultrasounds etc. etc., and I have never wanted to just "follow the crowd" however I will only be a first-time mother once and since it is my first and I am terribly excited I think I will bypass my desire to be different and take the opportunity to tell anyone who cares to know, exactly how exciting this morning was for David and I!

So first of all, the little guy didn't want to hold still for a second, the ultrasound tech had the hardest time locating everything long enough to get a picture so the face pictures are already pretty alien when they get a really good one, but even more so with our little guy because they were pictures in motion. But hey I still think they are adorable. He really enjoyed playing with his hands (part of the reason it was so hard to get a picture of his face) he kept scratching his face and playing with his umbilical cord- we had an awesome picture of him holding it in both hands, but I had a little mishap and in trying to preserve it, I accidentally destroyed this wonderful picture, much to my complete horror. What kind of mother does that...well apparently I do. He also shook his head at us quite a bit, the ultrasound tech kept commenting on how much he was moving around and how disagreeable he was toward the camera...I wonder if this is a sign of things to come...

Now maybe this would embarass our little guy terribly but although doctors will never say that they are 100% sure on the gender, it was pretty easy for them to get some good shots of our baby and it is pretty undeniable that he's a little guy- apparently very proud of his manhood already.

David and I are so so excited, mostly because he appears to have all of his limbs and organs in tact- and everything appears to be very normal- at 20 weeks he is measuring at 12 oz. and is in the 70th percentile for his height. David is proud he was able to create a little man-child, and I am so thrilled that I get the chance to be a mom! What a great day!

His little face in 4D- he's got his fingers up to his mouth

A bit fuzzy but those are his legs

Cute little foot

Theres an arm with his fingers curled
