Getting real
“We’re having a baby.”
Today that turned from an abstract concept into solid reality with our first ultrasound of the wee one.
“We’re having a baby.” A baby! Tiny thing. An amalgamation of our respective genetic makeups. In one flash of amazement we looked at the screen and saw a tiny grey blob and the rapid fluttering of its heartbeat.
I must say, and note that I’m attempting to be impartial here, that it must be the cutest grey blob that I’ve ever seen. Seriously. If there were grey blob cuteness awards we’d be forced to clean off the mantlepiece to make room for the grand prize.
Apparently going for a clean win by nailing the performance judging, we caught a glimpse of it head on and saw it wiggling its little arms doing a simply adorable little dance. Yes my child the cute dancing grey blob. Aww.

This news is turning me into a total girl. I think I actually said “Aww” out loud when reading your post. Kind of distressing, but in the happiest possible way.
Congratulations again!

It was a very life changing moment. It actually wiggled! So weird and cool.

From another unbiased observer you are totally right I got to see the pictures of the darling little grey blob you all get first prize. The lucky little grey blop will have wonderful parents. An exciting time for all:)

And the lucky little grey blob will have two sets of equally wonderful grandparents! We want to see the grey blob too! btw Stephen was a pretty cute gray blob as we are sure Sarah was, so it’s in the genes.
