Scoot and I are 21 weeks today and we had another ultrasound. Everything is going perfectly both with the baking and the baby. Today I had the same sonographer as my 12 week appt and she has got the magic touch when it comes to getting a profile shot.
The first thing I noticed? That is totally her daddy's forehead. I hope she gets his smarts to go along with it! I'm thinking my mouth and her dad's chin also. Can't tell on the nose yet, but its amazing what you can see at this point.
Just a few more short months and I finally get to meet this little thing that is moving around in there. Amazing to think that the next time its warm, next time we have daylight savings, I'll be a mommy. I am so incredibly grateful for this gift, for my life, for my family and friends. Holy snikes I'm blessed. God, thanks, I'm a fan.

So this is a little late...
A couple weeks ago I had my anatomy ultrasound, otherwise known as the big ultrasound. This is the one everyone gets these days and is when folks normally find out the sex. Cause I'm super special I got to find out early, but it was still amazing to spend some time with the girl. Holy crap is she cute and holy crap do I love her!
The event started with a surprise. I knew my dad was coming in to see the ultrasound but my mom was supposed to be in Chicago and couldn't make it. Or so I thought! Thursday night I go to the door to let my dad in and lo and behold there's mama with him! Or shall I say, what was left of my parents. They've both lost over 30 pounds. I am so so impressed, they look amazing and are feeling great as well. They call it the scooter plan, isn't that cute? It was such a great surprise, we had a great time all weekend.
So early the next morning we all trundled to Lansdowne for the appt. We got to see her brain, all four heart chambers, all vital organs, hands, fingers, toes, the whole shebang. And from what they can see she is perfect. She is also definitely ours. I joke with Scott that I can tell she's our daughter cause I never feel her before 1pm. Well sure enough with a 9:30 appt she made it known that she was not pleased to be poked around that early! She kept covering her face with her hands like she was saying "No, stop, no pictures this early"
My parents were really excited to be there and I'll go ahead and out my Dad...he was the only one in the room who needed tissues. It was actually pretty cute. Mom was like me, she didn't want to look away for a second cause she might miss something. Husband was just grinning from ear to ear. I love seeing how much he loves his little girl already.
Here's some more pics:
