we saw the baby today, May 3rd. keyword: baby, not babies. we saw the head, the little arm buds and the leg buds. we saw what's left of his/her tail (can't wait for that to go away). the most perfect little peanut complete with a two hands, two feet, a head, a torso and a strong, albeit small, heart fluttering at 160 beats per minute. it was a really surreal experience. makes it seem so much more real. so that's the little thing that's making me feel so nauseated every day. hello, embryo, nice to meet you. i told kevin i didn't cry, but i definitely teared up. it's amazing to think that we created a whole other being. his first response: "did you see the size of that brain? MASSIVE." that's his way of saying our baby will be smart like him. let's just hope, even if it does have a massive brain, it doesn't have a massive head. that won't be as much fun for the mama. wow, i'm a mama. surreal. i love this little embryo more than i ever thought i could. i'm so lucky that i get to experience this special bond, even if it does come with massive boobs, nausea, the *occasional cranky or irrational moments* and other unmentionable changes.
*our next ultrasound is June 9th*
