New Pictures of "Peanut"

Here are the newest pictures of "peanut". The top picture is head on, with the head on the left. The bottom picture is a profile with the head on the left. I think the bottom picture is really clear, but Tori says you can't really see anything. I may just be seeing what I want to see.

2nd Doctor's Visit

On this past Tuesday, Aug. 4th, Tori and I had our second doctor's appointment. We were mainly there to hear the baby's heartbeat. There were some other tests that they wanted to run, but we thought we were just going to hear the heartbeat. Little did we know, they would be letting us see our baby for the second time. Our doctor put the little wand on Tori's belly, and there it was: our child. It looked like a clear profile and I let out an "Ohhhh!" and Tori sat up to see the picture I was looking at, which caused the image of the baby to be lost. The doctor told her that she needed to lay down while the doctor had the wand on her and she would take some still images that Tori could look at. The doctor found the baby again and I swear the baby waved its little arm at me. Again, I made some sort of noise, and Tori sat up in response. Again, the image was lost.

I felt bad for Tori because I was getting to see it all in real time. The baby looked like it was moving around (by the way, too early to be able to tell the sex) and it was the first time that it really hit me that we were growing more than a peanut in there. It was a little person who had arms and legs and hands and feet...and it waved at me! But poor Tori had to lay there, still, while I stood there saying "Wow!" It was like when you're in a crowded bar and there's a TV behind you and the person you are talking to is watching it over your head and keeps saying "Whoa! Look at that!" And everytime you turn around to see what they were talking about, it's gone. Only, it was the baby that is growing in her belly.
