Last week, Alex and I went to the hospital for our second sonogram. The doctors smeared warm gel on my belly and looked at the baby on the monitor. He was wriggling all over the place! (I've been feeling him kick SO much lately, which is adorable and kind of feels like bubbles.) It was totally sci-fi to see his tiny spine with all the intricate bones, but the most exciting part was seeing his teeny profile. Alex jokes that he looks like a Dr. Seuss character at this point, but we think he's beautiful and are totally enamored. This little photo makes me smile every time I look at it. I love his tiny hand just hanging out there. :)Thanks for all your lovely comments about everything so far; it's so much fun to share everything with you. xoxo
:-O Baby!!! Oh my... Your life will forever change, and for the better! That is the *most* beautiful image on earth.

he's a beautiful little human being :) I am so happy for you two!

Wow. Just...wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, every time I see a ultrasound photo, I am amazed. Enjoy every moment!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so perfect! Congrats again :)
ReplyDeleteI think he's more "Harold and the Purple Crayon," actually. So cute! Thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh so precious! Thank you for sharing this with us. Now all your readers (myself included) are going to have serious baby fever...uh oh : )
ReplyDeleteXX Kate
wow! what a beautiful profile and so clear. he's just hanging out till june awww... xx
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift...
ReplyDeleteyour ultrasound technician is an artist! look at that perfect picture!! i think he has your nose, joanna! :)
ReplyDeletei loved getting ultrasounds - p got so big that towards the end i had one every week! i loved it!
Oh Joanna isn't that the best? That little spine is amazing, it's all amazing:)
ReplyDeleteso magical and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi little duffer! Seeing the baby is so exciting! At our last ultrasound, our little guy kept looking towards us and blowing kisses (we had a scare around 5 months and thought we might lose him, and I think it was his way of telling us that everything is going to be okay). It's so crazy when they get bigger and kick, because you can, like, grab onto little hands and feet almost popping through your belly. I was always amazed that my belly-button didn't unravel and my kids pop out that way. What an excited time, thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that you and Baby are healthy and doing great :)
ReplyDeletehow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I'm so happy for you and Alex.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great shot! Ours didn't turn out as well as this! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! That is so exciting! I love reading your baby updates!!
ReplyDeleteHello Beauty!
ReplyDeleteOh man! SO adorable and exciting!
ReplyDeleteAny ideas for potential names yet?
Enjoy this precious gift!
ReplyDeleteYay Joanna! Isn't it fun to see the baby? I thought our little girl looked liked a character from Whoville (dr. seuss) too! haha! Congrats again! xoxox
ReplyDeleteWow! Just look at the little fellow. I think its so fabulous that you can see him floating around in there now. I would think you would feel like you really KNOW him as he's coming with you everywhere that you go. Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAwww wow! Congratulations again. =]
ReplyDeleteAny baby name ideas yet?
x
how exciting! our daughter and her husband will be having a girl (we think)...the tech said that "baby wouldn't open her legs to be 100% sure" in which we replied "good girl--so modest!" and he said that he would lean towards a girl--but another ultrasound in 2/10 should confirm. Congrats to all of you!
ReplyDeleteThat is the clearest ultra sound picture I have ever seen! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteahhhh, he's perfection. already. congratulations!!
ReplyDeletebenson, that's such a funny story!
ReplyDeleteSo very exciting!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeletewe're still brainstorming names, although we have a few we really like. xo
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely PERFECT! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... I've never been one to see babies (in pictures or real life) and have them take my breath away- turns out I'm more of a puppy person- but your ultrashound picture is absolutely amazing. So incredible.. Thanks for sharing, that may have changed my opinion forever about babies! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet photo! Congratulations. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteoh my! this photo makes my heart swell! again, so happy for you and alex! and I am so glad that you are sharing it all with us, too :)
ReplyDeleteNo joke.. that's the best sonogram picture ever! Yay for baby!

ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! He's already beyond adorable. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Jo, this just made my day a little brighter. xo

ReplyDeleteNeeded something to make me smile. This was SO it.
ReplyDeleteThanks and a million congrats.

ReplyDeleteAww, he looks so adorable now what more when he comes out. Congratulations again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog post! Ours still looks like a bean!
ReplyDeleteOh Joanna! This is going to be the luckiest little man on Earth. I can't wait until we all get to see him outside of the twilight-zone of the sonogram. Congratulations, again!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed was that perfect little spine. Also, I'm going to go off that little Who profile, and say you should name him Finn. It sounds like a character from Dr. Seuss.
ReplyDeletebeautiful and thrilling!
ReplyDeleteThis is the grandma. Wow! He and you both are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time for the two--I mean three-- of you! Thank you for sharing the steps along the journey with all of us and, again, many congratulations!

ReplyDeletei love that you are sharing your pregnancy with us! i too got married this past August and now have baby fever big time - but because of career stuff we're waiting a little longer - but i'm happy to be living vicariously through all the lovely pregnant women around me. keep the posts coming & congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYay, love that you posted this. Joanna the Mommy :)
ReplyDeleteI know you'll save this for the baby book and all abut I wanted to share that we also got a gorgeous profile ultrasound of my oldest son and that although he is now 7, his nose still looks exactly the same. Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of him in profile now and it will bring me right back to lying on that table and seeing him for the very first time.
ReplyDeleteSo you may not actually need to keep the photo to keep the memory. Congrats!
Yay!! Thanks for sharing this. My husband is a radiologist and we went in almost weekly to take a look at our peanut :) (the first time. the second pregnancy, we didn't have time).
ReplyDeleteawwwww sweet beautiful little one! congrats!
ReplyDeleteEek, he's adorable. He's totally waving, saying "what's up" to the blog world. (He may be the most popular unborn child around)!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwweee this is great - I can't stop smiling.. Have you heard of 3D sonogram? It's pretty cool - I got it done when I was pregnant with my second daughter...
ReplyDeletePlease take care of yourself and the little peanut :)
xoxoxo

ReplyDeletewow that is amazing! how lucky you certainly are indeed (: what a precious baby. I remember when my mum had my little sister and I could not stop looking into her little brown eyes.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best luck and wonderful treasures to come!

ReplyDeletecongratulation and enjoy your pregnancy... it's pure magic!

ReplyDeleteThat is adorable:-). I remember getting the first loook at both my children. Magical! All of a sudden there is actually a little person in there. Also recomend getting a 3D-scan. Amazing to actually see the face of the baby.

The only thing better is when you get to see him face to face. :) Awesome.
ReplyDeleteyay for lil kicks!
ReplyDeletemy son was so busy we nicknamed him "ninja". funniest part was that his feet were always VERY mobile (before and after) - and still are!
enjoy every moment. i missed those little kicks when he was born, but he made up for it by being the coolest little person i know.
Bonjour! c'est la première fois que je poste un commentaire mais je viens depuis longtemps sur ton blog, que j'adore ! Tu as l'air adorable et heureuse ! :) Bisous!
ReplyDeleteps : sorry... i'm french! haha

He is so sweet! The pictures have improved a lot since I had mine about 18 years ago. I just kept nodding my head, saying yeah sure I see the head and the feet, when in actuality I could tell what was what! He's beautiful Joanna. :)
ReplyDelete-Jennifer
