That’s right, he’s going to be such a wonderful big brother! He’s understands that, for some reason, when we point to my belly and say “whats in there?” he is supposed to respond “baby”, but at this point I’m pretty sure it just seems like a strange thing that we insist he say and we light up and tell him “good job!!” over and over when he says it. What a little parent pleaser.
^Our first ultrasound, where we were shown that there is a healthy little baby in there! And we got to hear the heartbeat :).
^Little did we know that when we went in for genetics testing a few days later we would find out that we’re having a GIRL!! Who knew they could tell you this early?! Apparently the baby is growing fast -- so according to my body I was 13 weeks 5 days at the time of this ultrasound. But according to the size of the baby she was 14 weeks 3 days. This is four days ago. I would be thrilled if she came on my birthday! (August 11th). But that’s a bit wishful I think. At least if I can say to her just like my mother always told me “the heavens are celebrating your birth!” if she is born during the Perseid’s meteor shower. A little ridiculous? Tell that to my 8 year old self as I lay under the stars making wishes every August 11th <3 .
