Just before thanksgiving, we were blessed to see our sweet baby via ultrasound. Jason's parents, Nana an PaDon, accompanied us as we made sure our sweet Sprout was growing appropriately. I was particularly anxious as just the day before I had learned that I have gestational diabetes.
As the ultrasound began, we were still unsure who would learn baby's sex and how we would announce it. I wanted to be surprised at birth but Jason refused to wait. We went into the ultrasound with no real plan for keeping the secret and still have no idea what we're doing. I know baby's sex won't be announced on here or on Facebook until his/ her arrival. But if you hear through the grapevine (or my excited momma mouth, it's not the end of the world).
Anyway, here's the good stuff:
Baby is healthy and measured perfect for gestational age. I thought it was so amazing to watch this new little person move around inside my belly. Sprout, like big sister Lucy, interacted with the ultrasound wand. It was also very cool to see Sprout do something Lucy and I both do. When we're tired, we raked our fingers across any surface we can find by opening and closing our hands. Lucy had done this since birth and I do all the time. It's like a self-soothing kinda quirk. And don't you know, little Sprout found the side of my uterus and did the same thing for all to see. It was a moment of amazing connection that I never want to forget:)
Here are a couple of our ultrasound pictures. Our little Sprout has a profile that's nearly identical to Lucy. I'm looking forward to having these perfect babies so close to each other! What a blessing they are:)
I guess these photos are going to be sideways until I find time to fix their direction at the computer. Anyhow, enjoy little Sprout feet and beautiful profile!
