The Money Shot

Our ultrasounds have been solidly enjoyable since they started. They’ve provided little bits and pieces of information and excitement and reassurance all along the way. Occasionally, we’ll go through a spell where baby won’t cooperate in a certain way, and pictures will be somewhat lacking for a few weeks. Recently, its been the face that been eluding our ultrasound tech. She scans me with a full bladder, an empty bladder, laying on both sides, laying on my back and somewhat on my belly, too. No dice.

Until today!!!

Our gorgeous little daughter looked so content in my womb. So cozy and smooth and beautiful.

She even pulled out the finger guns, which cracked me right up!! Our tech commented that the baby was pointing, but aaaaall I saw was finger guns!

She clearly already has a sense of humor.

She was also moving like crazy, which I just found SO exciting! I had plans to eat something sweet on the drive over, to wake her up and get her moving, but I forgot, having hid the treats in my pocket, away from the kids. Out of sight, out of mind, right? But it clearly wasn’t necessary, because she was wide awake and super wiggly. Our tech was able to get clear pictures of her face, back, limbs, organs, etc. And my goodness, our little Bambina is SUCH a sweetie!!!

Todays scan was so nice <3 I fear we’ll soon be done with ultrasounds, and I’m not sure how well I’ll handle that, but I know its coming. I’ll miss getting my daily bi-weekly dose of her. Hopefully this summer will be filled with her, every minute of every day. At that point, bi-weekly will feel so small. I cannot wait!!
