Cry me a river...

Remember that time yesterday when I said I wasn't going to get mushy? Well, that was an all-out lie. Just for today, I promise. We had the first sonogram today and it was absolutely the most unbelievable experience ever. Let me backtrack a little...

So yesterday was doctor appointment #2. How did I possibly lose 2 pounds from the first appointment? I can't lose weight to save my ass, but then I get pregnant and it happens? Needless to say, I didn't mind. We heard the heartbeat again and it's ticking away at 150 and everything is great. We shedule a sonogram for this morning and that's when the tears start to fall...

First of all, my parents, mother-in-law, sister, and husband are all included in the big day. I started crying before we even got into the room. This from a girl who yesterday said, I don't know if I'll cry - I'm too excited! Cut to this morning and I'm bawling like a baby. Not to mention my bladder is going to explode because they make you drink 32 oz. of water before the appointment. I'm going to tell you right now that seeing an actual real-life picture of your baby for the first time is so incredible. It's so utterly unbelievable. It blows the hearing the heartbeat out of the water. Our little peanut was dancing around and totally hamming it up for the camera. We saw what looked like a "thumbs up", a wave hello...even toes. My baby's little piggies! (I'm talking like a mom already, shit!) At one point the baby had its hands up on it's cheeks (think "Home Alone" pose). I swear to god, I could have laid on that table and watched our little home movie all day long. What's even more amazing is that while the baby is going bonkers in my belly, I can't feel a thing! I probably won't for a few more weeks, and I can't wait. I'm told it will feel like flutters or gas (gas? if that's the case, I've had a baby in my belly for about 28 years) and I won't realize it until it's happened a few times.

Right now, Baby Gordon is about 5 inches long and weighs about 5 oz. Everything seems to be in the right place and the right size. We saw the heart beating, the kidneys, stomach, bladder, brain, spine, wow! I wish I could show all of the pics to you - but to you they'd probably look like Tom & Katie's alien baby (minus the red eyes). My sister thinks she can tell what it is, but all I have to say is she better keep her trap shut! We will definitely be able to tell on the next one, so I hope it's little legs are crossed.

I'm so glad I can share all of this with you. I hope you bitches are reading it! For those of you who have been through it, I am proud to join the club...for those of you who haven't (but certainly will) I can't wait to hear your stories!
