We went to the doctor today and and were happy to hear we were actually in the 12th week instead of the 11th like we thought. We were thinking that we were still going to have to wait to tell the good news until next week and I have just been bursting at the seams.
D-L-B doing somersaults in Mommy. 12 weeks
The ultrasound was really cool this time as we were able to see individual arms, legs, feet, and hands. The doctor said it looked like there was a baseball bat in there too, but alas it was just the umbilical cord. I was really excited that the future D-Backs fan was already gearing up for the 2009 season! We were really able to see DLB moving around for the first time and it was just unbelievable that this little life was our baby, just 6 months removed from it's first breath of air. We (I) cried. A little. Really.
On the drive home I was trying to figure out how to meet up with my parents to let them know the news but I just couldn't wait any longer so Mom got the call on the way home from the doctor. She of course was very excited and....wait for it...I cried. I've never known such absolute joy and happiness that every time I get excited my emotions come out in tears. I think I'm damaged somehow.

I love that you can see the baby's whole body in that shot - our ultrasounds, back in the dark ages (14 and 19 years ago) were not that clear at all! You could barely tell what was the head.
