Yup it's true we are expecting and due April 9th! The significance of where we took the above photo isn't obvious but when moving my sister in to college we took the opportunity to go back to our old stomping ground of the Mercy Walkway. This is the walkway that Brian and I had our first kiss, countless walks and talks as we deepened our relationship with one another, and the place he proposed to me and I said yes! It only seemed appropriate to return to the walkway that has been of significance in our lives to capture this moment as we share with everyone that we are officially expecting!
We have called the baby our minion for sometime now and it has stuck as a nickname. It has made the perfect code word to use amongst ourselves especially around others in conversation we weren't telling. We intend on finding out the gender at the anatomy scan scheduled for November 15th so we have a little ways until then but either way we are so excited to welcome a little one into our family boy or girl!
Without further ado meet our minion:
First glimpse of our beautiful blob at 6 weeks and 1 day old. We heard the heartbeat and all at this appointment and even had some tears over what looked like a shrimp in the ultrasound but looks blob like in the prints!
At 7 weeks and 5 days we saw our minion again looking more baby like. The actual ultrasound seemed so detailed but the prints from it make our minion look like a starfish!
11 weeks and 6 days old we saw our minion again with much more clarity. Again the ultrasound prints are not as real looking as they were watching the screen. We could see a nose, mouth, eyes, hands, and feet so perfectly. So tiny yet already looking like a baby!
The 4d images were so cool! The actual ultrasound seeing minion move around was unreal.
Hiding from the picture with its arm over its face!
The Dr. said everything looks great and baby is developing perfectly no concerns. I did have to ask him if this indeed is the most beautiful baby he has ever seen on ultrasound and he agreed it is the best looking baby he has ever seen in all his years of experience :)
Last but not least, long legs that were kicking and turning the whole time! Minion was bouncing around and kept moving that it took some time for the ultrasound tech to be able to get some good shots. It didn't help that I ate not long before the appointment so baby was filled up and putting on a show for us!
