For as much as I have been through so far it still seems so surreal to think that I have a person growing in my belly! Yes, all the symptoms are there and yes we saw the first ultrasound but nothing can make it as real as watching the baby yawn and stretch inside of me on the last ultrasound. Also, none of my clothes will fit, but the yawn was adorable! We were able to see the heart, brain, kidneys, legs, arms, eyes, nose, ears, elbow...every thing except what would tell us if baby is a boy or a girl. There were a couple of times where it would have been so easy; both Joe and I said that it was really hard to restrain ourselves from finding out. However, we did agree that the baby needs to get a lot cuter! The face that you see in the ultrasound is not cute! It isn't even a little cute, it is flat out creepy! I am convinced that I have Skeletor growing inside my belly! It kept playing peek-a-boo and it was the creepiest thing to see it bobbing up with the Skeletor face. I really wasn't anticipating that. Also, we found out that the baby is very flexible, its foot was all the way up by its ear. My mom and my friend Jen were there to see it when all the medical stuff was taken care of. It was a very cool thing to share with them. Diane had to work so we brought her the pictures when we were done with the appointment. Overall it was an amazing experience and one I will never forget...

Melissa you look beautiful (Joe you don't look so bad yourself :))! I am so excited for the both of you!
Awwww look at the baby of the family! There is no way that baby will look like Skeletor when it comes out ... I promise you! Marnie is right, you both look great! And I bet with the 19-week belly you're starting to get some attention now! :) I can't wait to see you! Tell Joe and the baby hi for me :) Keep posting the ultrasounds! They make my day! (Especially at school, in my TA class ...) :D
Love all 3 of you!
Oh, I'm a little verklempt. You do look amazing, and it's so thrilling to see you relaxing and enjoying your pregnancy more.
And as for skeletor? Yeah, JH looked like a FROG in utero. I had dreams for months that I was having a swamp thing.
Did I ever tell you that we told everyone we were going to name him Shaft? Until he popped out, some people actually thought we were serious.
Love you, girl. Thanks for telling me about your blog. I'm honored!
