Ultrasound

Especially for the grandparents, aunties and uncles, and all lovers of our baby #2 ---

pictures of baby #2!


These are camera phone shots from our ultrasound on Christmas Eve, at about 12 weeks. In China it's not standard for the Moms to see the TV. I was lying on the bed, unable to see the screen, asking Drew "what do you see? what do you see?" So finally I wiggled down to the very foot of the bed and turned 90 degrees, to see my small child. "Hi baby! It's your Mom and Dad! We love you!" (Actually we said it in Chinese.)

The ultrasound tech was cool with this for about 30 seconds and then warm-heartedly said, "Alright! Enough playing around. I've got work to do!" I scooted back up to the blind spot and she finished up measuring and checking everything.

So turns out that I am in fact pregnant! I can't fully believe it until I hear that baby's heart beating or see her little body on the screen. Ok. I'm pregnant.
