We just had our 20-week anatomy scan and everything checked out normal. The ultrasound technician immediately informed us that she would be taking the photographs, but that the doctor would be in to give us the analysis. She calmly, and without emotion, perused the inside of Heather’s belly identifying the body parts one by one.
“One arm… There’s the other...”
Heather and I are smiling at the screen, at each other, back at the screen.
“Eye lids...
“Nose...
“Lips…”
“Does everything look normal?” I asked.
“The doctor will be in to tell you that!”
Oh, sorry.
“There’s a foot… here’s the other...
“Femur...
“Abdomen...
“It’s a girl.”
Wait, hold it… It’s a girl?
And just like that, as if she was just reading us the daily special at a run-of-the-mill diner, she announced that we were having a daughter.
It didn’t matter, though, the tone of the announcement. I looked at Heather and I could see the happiness gleaming out of her.
“A GIRL!” Heather cried softly in joy.
And so there it is. I am soon to be the proud father of a baby girl.
Below are some pictures from the ultrasound.
The last one might be a bit X-rated… Just saying.
Here is a profile of the little girl.
Her two feet. So cute!
My Little Girl is not shy. I'm not sure how I feel about that right now.
So glad another girl is joining the family.
ReplyDeleteMaggie is already calling her " Maggie jr."!
I can tell from those pictures that she has your feet.
