Our beautiful baby!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and got a glimpse of our little baby!
The baby was unbelievably stubborn for the first 35-40 minutes. Curled up and hiding way in there. The ultrasound tech was getting frustrated because she wasn't able to get any measurements. I walked around for a minute and that seemed to help a bit. The tech was pushing soo hard trying to see and the baby was kicking at the pressure and staying low. She left for a minute to get something, and voila the baby perked up a bit and came to say hello. She did the measurements quickly when she returned and her exact words were, "the baby looks perfect, all the measurements look great. and it is so cute- look at the profile!" Jon came in and she did the little tour. The heart was beating nice and strong, a nice big brain, the little spine, cute hands waving around, a little yawn, big feet! Its really special to see the little person for the first time (well other than a jelly bean before 10 weeks), and they are already so human looking and functional at 20 weeks! The movements and everything were just so baby-like its crazy. Its so nice to hear that everything looks great and the baby is growing nicely.

It was neat to see this baby is different than Julia, we compared the ultrasounds and I guess I sort of assumed it would be exactly the same. Not sure where that logic came from? The nose is definitely close to Julia's, but the head shape is much rounder, jaw shape is different and a different chin- this baby is certainly its own little person.

I can't believe how much I love my baby already, its an overwhelming feeling. I'm just going to really try to enjoy the pregnancy because its really not long before he/she will be here. Pregnancy is my special time with this baby and I'm going to cherish the little kicks, hiccups and movements.

I do have to say though, baby is already so adorable. I can't stop looking at the ultrasound pictures and wondering who we are going to meet in November.
