We had a perfect visit today and I saw my child for the first time. I cried and cried and could not believe how busy the baby was - moving and kicking and putting it's hands up to it's mouth. I saw the brain and the heart and the ribcage and perfect spine. I saw arms and hands and five little fingers - making a fist. I was in awe and did not expect the experience to have such a profound impact on me.
I saw a perfect little rump and long kicking legs and then we saw something else....and the sonographer asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby.....I cried and nodded and she said I can tell you 85% that it's a.....
BOY
Everyone, please meet my son!!! He is perfect and I am in love!!
Have a wonderful weekend all!!!

There is nothing greater than a mother's love! It's great to see you so happy. Congrats again!
Melissa, thank you for sharing this beauty with us!! It gathers together so many lovely memories past!!! I wish for you a fabulous rest of your pregnancy. Enjoy this special time!
oh, and thanks for the wishes and girl hugs on your last comment back! I was so baby excited, I didn't even acknowledge them! =)
Way cool. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Congrats to the mom to be and your son!!!
Now all you have to do is pick out a name.... that's the hard part....
Gorgeous. A lovely post. Hope you have a good weekend.
The name part is easy. Osbasso. Shortens nicely to Os. Trips easily off the tongue. Guaranteed (sadly) that no one else will have the same name.
Now the bigger question--is that his hoohaw down there?? ;-)
Hi Os,
Um, "that" is his foot down there....
What is up with men??? However, having said that - your comment really did crack me up!! Oh, and YES, I DO have a picture of his HOOHAW...but I am not going to put the little man's privey's on the internet.
xoxo,
Mel
p.s. that little glob by his head (and the shot is a profile) is his little fist...he likes putting his hands up to his mouth. What a cutie pie!!
Os.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!! I KNEW a guy would point that out but seriously, did SIZE/RATIO not cross your mind??? This is starting to sound like a Brico stream of comments! Sorry Melissa, couldn't resist the laugh!
I'm sorry. You download the picture, you open it up to full-size, it looks even more like a hoohaw. But I'll take your word...
what an absolutely special moment for you! I am extrememly happy for you :) A BOY a BOY!!! Wee hoo!!!!!
Ah, a little boy.
Trust me when I tell you - there is something very special about little boys and the bonds with their Mom(s).
Congratulations!!!
