Sort of XP: Wiggly baby!

[toratoratori]

I mentioned this in the "Happy Friday" post on SN buttttttt ... we had our NT Scan this morning and got to see baby in all his / her almost 13-week glory. Baby is so WIGGLY. It is totally weird that I am growing a human inside me, guys.

Also, none of my pants fit anymore. But that's an entirely different story. Also, an excuse to go shopping this weekend. Happy birthday to me!  :Y:

When's your birthday? Happy birthday!

My first U/S (the NT scan) was so odd for DH -- it was the first time it dawned on him that there's a BABY in there. I think it's so cool how you can already see arms, legs, etc. so early along. Mine is a week from yesterday

My birthday is tomorrow. I'm turning 29 for the first time

I think the first "holy shit there's a baby in there" moment for Dan was at my first midwifery appointment when we heard the heartbeat. The look on his face was PRICELESS and I'm so disappointed I didn't get a photo of it.

Lol! My DH skipped all my regular appointments last time around, which I didn't really mind since most were pretty boring. I actually had to twist his arm to get him to come with me to the NT Scan but after the fact he was really glad to be there.

Dan's attendance will probably taper off later in the pregnancy as the appointments get more routine, but he's been coming to everything with me so far since it's all still relatively new. I love how excited he is!

Awesome!
H got stuck behind a stalled truck and missed our last u/s but he was so excited when he heard the heartbeat at the next appointment. I'm excited to see the baby next week when it looks like a human!

It is really crazy. The first time I heard the heart beat and saw him on the u/s I couldn't stop laughing and crying. I had to look away from the monitor b/c every time I saw him I would start crying and laughing uncontrollably and she couldn't get a good picture.

I think we made the tech uncomfortable because we kept talking about how it looked like the spawn of the alien queen. Which like, of course, right? It's our child. What else would it look like?

It's so cool to see it start to look like an actual baby!
