Baby is Growing!

So glad he waited for it...

Yesterday morning we had our 13 week appointment with the doctor. When I got there the receptionist said the doctor was running late because he had to perform an "emergency surgery" that morning. So we waited...not long...but long enough for Matt to grow impatient. The night before Matt had debated whether or not to even join me for the appointment. Not that he didn't want to be there, but because he just wasn't sure how he was going to get all of his billable hours in for the month of February. For all of you who work on billable hours or are married to someone who does, you know the dilemma. And February is an especially hard month. So as we waited Matt got antsier and antsier. Finally it was our turn. We were lead to our room and within a few minutes the doctor was there with us. And that is when the magic happened.

Ultra Sounds are so cool. As first time parents we were expecting to see a blob (a larger version of the Lima bean looking things we saw a month ago) but what we saw was our baby, and he/she looked like a real baby. By the looks of it, we are going to have our hands full. Baby Dildine spent the few minutes we were watching doing flips, waving arms, and even touching (I like to say "scratching") his/her face. Even the doctor was a little surprised at the level of activity. He tried to get a sneak peak at the goods, but the baby moved every way except with legs open facing us.



I wish the pictures we have were as clear as the screen we watched in the office. Part of the blurriness is attributed to the quick movements of our baby. It was amazing.

So after the delay, Matt was so glad he waited. What a blessing it is to be able to check in on our growing bundle of joy. I don't think he will debate joining me for the appointment next month.


Enjoy the pics!
