I remember waaaay back on October 25 (seems like forever ago), when we got visual confirmation that I was pregnant, being amazed at the tiny little baby inside me moving around. The first words the sono tech said were, "I do see a baby in there." And there he was swimming around and moving his tiny little arms and legs. Of course, we didn't know he was a he at the time. We called the baby Ponyo, because he looked like a fish doing all that swimming. I feel kind of bad about that now because Ponyo the cartoon fish is actually a girl. Oh well. Here are couple pictures from that day.
He was only an inch and a half long then, but still so cute.
Ten weeks later, he had grown to over 8 inches and weighed almost a pound. No wonder I was so hungry the previous 6 weeks. This kid was growing and growing. January 3rd was the day we found out he was a he and that he appeared to be doing great with his growing and developing. I'm so proud of him!
He moved and squirmed the whole time and didn't let us get a profile shot. He preferred to face us most of the time and lay his head on the placenta like a pillow. He did lots of moving those arms and legs just like before. I figure it must be his favorite thing to do. It looks like his has Will's long and skinny feet.
The sono tech was "as sure as she'd ever been" that we are having a boy. That was a good day.
We mostly got really short video clips of him that day. Here's one of him moving a little bit. It may not be possible on here, but it's more satisfying if you put it on a loop!
