We had our ultrasound today! It was such a relief for me to see our tiny baby alive and well and hiccupping all over the place. I had myself convinced last week that I had somehow killed the baby. This is mostly because of babycenter.com, where all the mothers have some sort of catastrophe and don't like me because I spoke negatively about Suzie from Survivor.
(I should know better than to lurk around a place that disapproves of people speaking their minds about television characters)
Anyway, as soon as the technician put the wand to my belly, we could see a fully formed human lurking inside there. With ears. And little arms that he or she waved around like mad. I never felt anything so powerful in my life as I did looking at that screen. There's a person. Inside me. For real. This is really happening.
Of course I knew all of this before, but looking at the baby move around really solidified everything. There's a baby in there, and I love that baby so much, so fiercely that I feel completely empowered.

Just stay off the online baby forums! They are crazymaking and dumb.
P.S. Cute baby!
Congratulations, it's so exciting to see the baby for the first time and to hear the heart beat. My wife and I are 5 months along, too.
What a great picture. Are there really people out there that liked Susie from Survivor?

Great image! Congratulations and happy holidays!
