It's official! We had the ultrasound and actually saw our little baby blink its eyes and open its lil' mouth several times. All measurements and organs were fine! It truly is amazing what you can see on the ultrasounds these days! His lil' ankles were crossed and he was moving all about! She switched it to 3D several times to show us different parts and organs. She even gave us 5 pics, one being the 3D one, but it isn't super clear. She said that he weighs 9 oz and would fit in our hand, but a strong wind would blow him off! From rump to the tip of his crown, he would stretch from your fingertip to the butt of your hand. We could still kind of get an idea of what he will look like with the 3D image! A tear rolled out of my eye at one point and I think the miracle of it all just got to me. When she told Tobin that he was going to have a namesake, he just kind of stood there in amazement. I looked at him and smiled and she went on to point out the crucial parts and then the elation began! He threw both fists up in the air and yelled, "Alright! Good job, honey!" Then, leaned in to give me a kiss. It was such a funny moment! I informed him that technically, it was his doing, but it was a mute point at that juncture; he was simply thrilled beyond words. Many of his fears were put to rest and the fact that there is someone to carry on his bloodline just seems to make him the happiest man in the world right now! We couldn't get the grin off our faces for about an hour! Just knowing and being able to refer to it as something other than baby or "it" is wonderful! The due date changed by two days, so July 9th is the current day of arrival.
I will blog again tomorrow (since we are out of school AGAIN) and try to scan these images. I may have to edit with Photoshop so you can tell what is what!
YEAH HOL AND TOBIN!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily and Heather!!! It is SOOO great to finally know!
ReplyDeleteI talked to my principal and he seems to think that we should be back tomorrow if the melting continues. They actually featured Rog on the news though in reference to power outages. We'll probably have half a class every hour and not really be able to do anything.
