Here's Looking At You, Kid

This morning we went in for our big sonogram!  We were pretty excited to see Bittwo and I had prepped Emily to "see the baby on the TV."  We got several pictures - three of which are profiles...


one of the bottom of the foot (that is a hand above the foot and another foot on the right)...
as well as a picture of Bittwo's heart and heart rate.
While we watched, Bittwo was holding his/her feet, opening and closing his/her mouth, and just moving around.  The tech commented several times on how cute Bittwo is and that he/she looks just like big sister.  Emily watched for a while and said, "awww, nice" and other such things before telling me that she wanted to watch the baby on the show.  I said, "well, I told you that we were going to see the baby on the TV and that is what we just did."  She replied, "that's not a TV, that's a computer!"  I stood corrected and she did have a little Lion King viewing during the rest of the visit.
According to all of the measurements, etc. Bittwo looks great!  We will hear back in 10-14 days (WHAT?  SO LONG?!) once the radiologist looks at them and gives his/her thumbs up as well.  The doctor says I look wonderful (why thank you!) and when walking through Daddy's work parking lot later a male stranger said, "you're gonna have a happy baby!  That belly is perfectly round!"  And on that note I shall move along... Bittwo is rolling around saying hello to everyone right now... or perhaps good-bye. 
* side note: during the sono Emily said, "Wook at him. Daddy, you see him?"  Daddy replied, "I guess Emily saw something I didn't see." The tech responded, "and something I haven't even had a chance to see yet!"  This was before the tech measured the legs (with the screen turned so we wouldn't accidentally see anything) and may or may not have determined the sex - she wouldn't tell us.  I figure she does know but we still do not and it's not written down anywhere.  The waiting continues!  :D

Two feet, gooood! Yes, Bittwo is darling! Glad Emily got to see this even though she seemed sorta skeptical!

Wow, love seeing the sonograms of Bittwo! He/she looks good to me, too! I love Emily's reaction to all of this...she is so smart and so amazing and is going to be a wonderful big sister.

My sister's tech said that the siblings are always 99% right about the new baby's sex and her oldest called both his sisters from the start!

Jane was right about both Jill and Jena being girls even though I INSISTED they were boys! Looking good and don't you love being corrected by your offspring! Get used to it! They have an uncanny ability to find just the way you are wrong!
