Ultrasounds

[Shellie]

If you're interested, I've had lots of ultrasounds so far, and I've scanned the images they gave me to keep. Some are pretty fascinating, some are hard to make out what you're looking at.

So if you wanna see:

Cool, looks like the baby's doing really good. 3rd trimester?

[Shellie]

Nope! Only 17 weeks(second trimester). She's (good chance it's a girl) HUGE. The filename of the pic indicates the age at the time of that ultrasound.

lol, yeah those head shots kinda freak me out. It doesnt have enough fat yet so really all you see is the bones.

This all brought a great smile to my face where an angry growl was before. I'm so glad for the both of you.

Are you guys trying to find out the sex prior to the birth?

[bovine]

SPOILER ALERT

it's human.

[Shellie]

Yeah. 2 ultrasound techs have said it looks like a girl, but it's still a little too early to tell for sure. But usually they're right.

What's the baby's heart rate? I've heard that you can tell based on that and I want to see if it holds up.

Very cool though. Glad the baby is doing well!

Once we're pregnant, my wife and I aren't gonna find out. We like that whole surprise thing and besides, you can use all of the yellow and green clothing for any subsequent children so it works better for the long term

Ranges from 160-150-ish..the bigger "she" gets, the slower and more stable it gets.

I still get the surprise, I just get it a little sooner I think just seeing her for the first time will be enough of a surprise heh

I don't know whether to congratulate you or go screaming and warning the world that the Spawn of Sine is upon us!

You guys busy getting the house all baby-fied?

[Shellie]

lol..hopefully we get a sweet laid back spawn of me.. lol

We haven't done much in the way of "making room for baby". It's still quite early, and with all the problems we had earlier on, I just wanted to wait till much later before I do anything. We have been using our 2nd bedroom as a storage room/spare bedroom, so we have to clear everything in there out. But, we don't have much room to put what was in there somewhere else. We have a big house, we just have a lot of junk hehe. Since I am on very restricted lifting, he has to do most of it himself, so we're just taking our time for now.

If the baby turns out to definitely being a girl, I may change my username. I've always used Seraphina because I love the name...but I also always told myself that's what I'll name my first girl. But now, it's a little weird, because I use it so much online! I want to still use Seraphina as her name, and Sine suggested we just use Sera, but with a last name of Byrd, it's a bit short. So that's still up for debate..

Sera's a lovely name! I understand wanting something a bit longer though. My mother was keen to make sure all of her children's names "flowed nicely" which is how I ended up with Fiona Maree Evans. Come June this year however it's going to be Fiona Maree Taumoefolau which kind of screws up her plan.

When it comes to my kids, I'm going to try to pick pretty simple names because I figure they'll have it tough enough as it is.

It feels weird... seeing Ish's baby for the first time....

(note to self: google Fiona Maree Evans and find out everything)

I think there's a porn star called Fiona Maree Evans. You're probably better off waiting until I become Fiona Maree Taumoefolau. Can't be too many of them around, hey?
