Ahhh, Breathing Easy

This IS our Baby

Yesterday was the big day, we finally got to see our baby's sweet little face. The Tech went though the head/brain (proper size and ventricles), the spine (all intact and straight), the abdomen (stomach and guts on the inside), the bladder and kidneys (both proper size and placement), and finally, the biggy, the heart (thank God, 4 chambers with no concerns for kinks or vessels going to the wrong areas). There was instant relief to know that the baby is as healthy as the ultrasound can see. A giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally focus on becoming a mom (AHHHH, A MOM!) Matt was instantly transformed into a dad watching this tiny person with a face and hands move on the monitor. Without getting too mushy gushy on everyone, it was amazing to watch his face as he watched our baby. By the way, I don't think I have much hope for this kid to look like me, even it's grainy black and white profile looks like Matt.

Hope everyone is well,
Colie

P.S While I am concerned about heart chambers, everyone else is probably dying to know the baby's gender. Sorry Charlie, its going to remain a secret and a surprise!
