Monday, January 22, 2007Itty-Bitty Baby
 To the untrained eye, that may not look like much. But on Friday, we saw his little heart beating -- clearly. We saw him wriggling around in his little baby bubble. And we fell in love with him. Eric, I must tell you, is completely, thoroughly gone over this new baby. It happened the moment the image popped up on the ultrasound screen. There was an immediate daddy/baby bonding that's only been growing stronger over the past few days. So my official Estimated Due Date is September 8. I happen to know, however, for reasons unsuitable for sharing, that there is no possible way that the technician's dating is correct. So while I will continue to tout September 8 (it's my parents' wedding anniversary, after all -- a fine date), in my heart I'm sticking with September 5, a date that gels with things-I-know-about-conceiving-babies. This whole thing takes my breath away. It gives me heartburn, too, but that's not quite the same thing. Overall I'm having a decent first trimester, and I can't complain. Still, a little more energy would be nice. I feel as though I've just spent my entire weekend sleeping. Of course, that's a great way to get Eric to actually help clean up the kitchen after supper: "I'm soooo exhausted, dear..." Not that I would ever do that. I'm much more subtle. Next ultrasound viewing: some time in April. Stay tuned for the big disclosure ("It's a .......")! Labels: pregnancy |

Okay, now that I'm not quite so choked up, it looks like you're pretty sure that little 5 of 5 is a HE!?! :-D

Oh.my.goodness, Jill. I am so SORRY that I have not been to your blog for such a long time that I didn't read the initial announcement that you are having a baby. I am such a horrible online friend. Reading this post though - I think that you might be wishing for a bog? Or am I wrong? Does it really matter anyway?
Congratulations, to you and Eric :) - I am thrilled for you...
Congratulations!! Count me on the "not reading nearly often enough" group. A comment by another reader sent me blog searching. Now you dont have to live vicariously through me....because we all know Im not having more babies :P
