Alien Baby Sonogram - 10 weeks

Here is the sonogram of Baby XX at 10 weeeks. we could see the hands, feet, legs, arms and even FINGERS! it was flippin around in my belly and moving around. so crazy to imagine i'm growing someone inside of me. right now, he/she is 2-2.5 inches long. if you look at the top picture, you can see the eyes, nose and jaw forming. when they took that picture, the baby was waving its arm around like it was waving. super cute. so we got a picture. :) the heartbeat was super fast, we got to hear it. the baby's head is massive as you can see. hopefully it'll grow into his head... unlike its mother. ;) i have sucha big head. hahahahHAH.

of course, i started crying. not like CRYING, but tearing, sniffling. it was a huge relief to see tht the baby was continuing to grow and live and thrive. though i knew everything was going to be "ok" and will work out, in the back of my head i was a little worried since my pregnancy horomone blood levels were going all over the place. my doctor didn't freak me out, but was just honest about the situation and that there was some concern. but then again, all pregnancies aren't "normal". part of me was scared that the baby wouldn't be alive and moving, or something terrible like that. so it was a huge relief. God's so amazing. i can't stop thinking about it.

the doctor scanned the area and showed the umbilical cord that was attached to the baby. he then said, "and there's only one." PHEW! he went on to explain how if there were more then it would be "here in this dark area". there was a slight possibility that there was going to be more than one, according to my hCG horomone levels. but only one baby! two would be twice the blessing, but twice the everything else. so one is good. :)
