Okay - today I'm not going to talk about exercise or diet. Rest assured, those are coming fine.
Today - well today I want to introduce you to my daughter.
Now it's not 100% confirmed, but the sonographer said she's 70+% sure - from what she saw, and she didn't see - that we're having a little girl. So that's what we're operating on. We'll have a a backup name, just in case, but when it comes to the registry - it's girl stuff! :) And can I say? We're totally excited about this! So instead of "it" we now call her "her".
And how totally photogenic is she? You can see in this ultrasound that she was lying on her left side. The white line above the word "Body" is her spinal cord! How cool is this?
Another profile view. Same orientation - and you can see the spine again. We just couldn't get her to roll towards us to get a good look. Plus her butt was right around Amber's belly button, so we couldn't get that PERFECT shot.
A closeup profile - looks like she's got her hand in her face. Maybe even sucking her thumb.
Our last picture of her was of her HAND! She was moving all around, and I think finally either waived at us, or was waving us off! LOL "Go away! I'm napping!"Can I just say that this was the coolest thing?! We could actually see her moving inside. Her legs and arms were flailing like crazy! The sonographer says it all looks good - and we're about at the 70-80th percentile for growth and size - so nice and normal.
Although the computer puts us due a week earlier than we thought. So who knows?
But seriously - do you have ANY idea how jazzed I am?!?! I'll admit it - the first time I saw her on screen - I cried.
HOLY CATS. I had to share this with you guys! I have to share it with EVERYONE!
How is it possible that I already love her so much???
I guess that's what being a daddy really is, huh?
Alright now - everyone comment - gush - pour out your hearts. :) I'll save them for her to read someday so she can see how many people were waiting for her!! :)
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
Whooopppeee!!! Congratulations both of you!! Girls are great!! And I think she was waving hello and wondering when she will be going to Disney World (or where is my horse...that's what my daughter would have been asking!) This is so exciting. We loved Jennifer from the first moment, there is no way not to. I wish we had pictures like this of her; they didn't have this as much 33 years ago. I am so happy for all three of you!!!

Congratulations! That is fantastic news! It is truely possible for you to love her this much already. When pictures like this are taken it just makes things even more real, there is something so sweet growing inside mommy's belly. :-) I'm happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteYeay!! I am so happy for you two!! I kept checking your blog this morning to see what you were having, I was so excited to find out. A girl! That is so great.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a beautiful princess! I am so excited for you both. You are going to have so much fun with her - Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is already waiting for her. I wonder which princess she'll be most like!
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't cry and you didn't love her already we'd all be worried about YOU! You know the best part? She already loves you too!
Congrats! You both are going to be wonderful parents, and she's going to be a very blessed little girl!
ReplyDeleteTotally relate to the tears. Hearing the heart and seeing these images of your child along the way is an amazing thing. Happy to hear that everything is progressing well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little princess! And she has her daddy wrapped around her little finger before she's even been born and been presented with her princess card! (I have my own, and in my 30s I still send out that "Daddy..." phonecall from time to time.)
ReplyDeleteWoot for Princess Bean!
Aw...what a miracle! Isn't she beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky little girl! And if the ultrasound tech got it wrong...and you are a boy...well, you are on lucky little boy!
That is awesome news. Thank you for sharing your world with us, Jonathan!
Congratulations! This is so awesome Jonathan - I'm so very happy for you. You're making me a little jealous, too. I'm getting married in 3 months, and now I want a little princess of our own!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your little princess!! I can't wait to meet her Marathon Weekend 2011!! She is beautiful and we are privilleged that you share her with us here! =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!! Did you notice in the picture listed under profile,baby girl bean is sucking her thumb?? And then the next one up she has her mouth open and took the thumb out, and the very top one she turned her head. Did you see that??
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great view of her backbone, looks nice and strong. :0)
Aweeee...... I hope you are a proud Dad to be.
Congrats! I still remember seeing my first son for the first time...just amazing! You are about to embark on a very cool adventure...love every minute!
