the big 20 week ultrasound

Dear Little Baby,

I got to see you yesterday,

I saw your precious little feet
and your teensy hands
I saw your stomach
and your beautiful 4 chamber heart
I saw your umbilical chord
and I saw your spine
I saw your face
and I saw you opening your mouth
I saw your "button" nose(the ultrasound tech kept saying how adorable your nose was--we will take this as a huge compliment since last time we saw her she was kicking the ultrasound probe).




But I did NOT see your gender. Even though you were apparently flashing us right and left. Nope, I held strong. I did not peek.

and I am completely overwhelmed with joy at the thought of meeting you this May.

I love you,
Mama
email me! i love you more than broccoli.

    Hi Davey:
    Congratulations on this baby. You are a very special lady and the perfect choice to me a mother of four! Hey, could you email me your street address? I have something I'd like to send you.

    Well, you've got a heck of a lot more willpower than I do! In fact, I really just want to call the doctor's office myself and find out for you! Of course I just wouldn't tell you! HAHA! Congrats again!!

    I cannot believe you are already 20 weeks... so amazing. I cannot wait to meet the little boy (or girl!!!!) inside of you. You are an amazing mother, and that child is already so bless to have you as his or her mommy!

    First of all such a sweet letter to baby... Second, i think that is what i want to do this time around. I almost didnt find out with Eli - than BOOM - BOY! Needed to find out with Cora.. I think with this one i want to keep it a surprise for me and Gabe.... Plus i think if its a girl Eli will be pretty disappointed. You are defiantly inspiring me to do so... Hope your feeling well.

    i did NOT find out with Finn, but found out with Calvin and Oliver. I really loved doing it both ways. With Finn, I loved the surprise, but with Ollie, I loved sewing him special little things--it was actually one of the most precious times of life for me. For now, I am content with my oblivian:)

    What a cute baby! He or she will be a blessing no matter what the gender. I am like you, I kept my first child a surprise and found out with my second and I LOVED both ways. There is something really special about waiting but it's also fun to know and plan and call baby by his/her name. I am so excited for you and this latest addition to your family! You're halfway there! WHOO-HOO!
