Our Early Screening Ultrasound

It only took Sprout two weeks to change completely from a cute gummy bear to an adorably little baby!

Our Early Screening ultrasound went really well - no markers for any sort of complication or abnormality. My blood results will be back in a week, which is when we'll know for sure.

The baby is a little more than 2 inches long now. We saw Sprout's little fingers, and we got to watch Sprout move - well... like Daddy, Sprout is a pretty chill, relaxing kinda baby, so no acrobatic flips for us - Sprout just sucked on his/her hands, waved them around at us, hiccuped a few times, and kicked me once!

And if anyone was curious what my mommy looks like, here is a picture from last week. Can you believe that I fit in there? She looks totally the same as usual!!!

Surprise!

Thursday morning, Rob had already left for work. I was 13 days past ovulation and holding out every imaginable hope that THIS would be the month. I dragged myself into the bathroom, peed on a stick, and behold...



Welcome to the world, Sprout. You've been much anticipated, and you will be much loved.
