Our Ultrasound appointment went great last week. We heard the pitter patter heart beating at 120bpm, and couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces. What a miraculous relief and amazing sound to hear. We also got our first few pictures of Baby Lamb and I found that by turning the close-up picture upside down I could actually make out the head, eyes, arms & legs! Incredible. But I can't believe I have to wait another 12 weeks to see our baby again! Hopefully we can at least hear the heart beat again at my Dr. appointment next Thursday. I should also get my lab work read to me.
I shared the news with Uncle Nic & Aunt Megan about 2 weeks ago now... Nic had called on one of his ritual driving to/from school calls, and had asked what else was new, so I said, "actualllly, there is something! Guess."
So first he guesses, "You'rrrre moving back to Cali?"
"Ha, no."
2nd he guesses, "You'rrrre adopting Baylee?"
"Nope! But getting closer...."
3rd guess, "You'rrrre having a Baby"
"Yep! Ready to be Uncle Nicky?!?"
And he gave me his usual "Oooohohohohoh, oh boy!"
He then proceeded to tell me he's still on the 5 year plan for kids. I told him he has next summer to get married, and then 1 or 2 more years before they better start joining the club... I want my kiddos to have like-aged cousins to visit when we go for beach trips!!
I told Auntie Megan shortly after, by texting her a picture of Dennis & I cheersing (him with wine, me with milk in a wine glass) and telling her we'll be needing an extra invite to their wedding next July ;) She shrieked with excitement!
We told all the rest of our closest friends and family (pretty much our bridal party, Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, the NY ladies) immediately following the Ultrasound. It was so euphoric to share in that excitement with them. We'll now wait until my birthday on July 8 (when I will almost be 12 weeks along) to announce to everyone else. And just a few days after that, we'll be hopping on a plane to Keuka Lake <3 I am beyond excited.
