Dear Baby
We got to take your very first photos today! I'm right at 20 weeks and we got to see your face for the first time at your ultrasound. Everything looks good and we know now that you are going to be a... wait! I can't say just yet! We're having a party to share with family and friends on Saturday, just like with your big sister, so I don't want to share just in case someone comes across this post. They think they can get it out of me, but I'm feeling pretty tough! I did tell two people, but I knew I was going to tell them, so that's okay.
I was very worried this morning before the test, though. Just anxious really. The ultrasound is your first good opportunity to see if anything is wrong, so I was worried we'd see something we didn't want to, but everything is looking good according to Melanie, the ultrasound tech. Dr. Lown will confirm on Tuesday next week at my next appointment but I'm feeling much better knowing all your parts are in the right place and at the right size!
Anyway, you were already kicking around when we got to the appointment. You are quite the wiggler. The tech also said I might be feeling everything more and earlier (well, it's not early anymore but it was!) because my placenta is in the back. For Jules it was on top, which prevented feeling (at least on the outside) so hopefully we'll be able to see some movement before too long. AND she said that with that positioning, we may be able to see hands and feet this time, which we didn't before. Weird. It'll be awhile for that but we shall see!
So now... your first profile photo! Below is a shot of your big sister. I see some resemblance already!!!
