You know I had to share

I would like to state, for the record, that that whole practice of making a woman drink a TON of water and then not letting her pee and then PRESSING DOWN ON HER ABDOMEN with that wand thing is a form of torture. TORTURE.

And also totally worth it.

LOOK. AT. THAT.

That is pretty cruel.

But the picture is great. Aryn's last ultrasound still looked like a jelly bean, that one you can tell it's a baby.

...She's pregnant? How did I miss that? She didn't tell me!

[acesupyersleeve.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, she is.

We've known for a while now, but we announced it on the 8th.

OMG....I am flailing!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

OMG!! CLAIRE!! IT'S A BABY!! LIKE REALLY A BABY!! TOTALLY BABY-SHAPED with a really big head which is very bizarre but OMG IT'S A BABY!!!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

OMG, ITS NO LONGER A BEAN OR LIKE....FRUIT OR WHATEVER VEGETABLE WE WERE COMING UP WITH!

It's a real little baby now!

I have managed to avoid that.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Aww, you don't want one done?

[graftedscion.livejournal.com]

I am nervous to. I do not like doctors very much.

I think one is required in two weeks, I am not certain.

[fever-crusade.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, my goodness. Would you look at that. You must be overwhelmed with excitement right now!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Ohmygosh, Martha! So very, like, I didn't think it could get bigger or more real than hearing that heartbeat but it was just, it was there and moving and I could hear the Doppler and see it move and it was the most amazing thing ever, even if I did feel like I was gonna pee on myself at any given second.

[fever-crusade.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I remember the feeling too well. There's nothing like it. When it starts to feel like something that's real and not just something that's basically vomit every five seconds and crave pickles and ice cream. Absolutely incredible.

HOLY SHIT!!! It's a baby! Well, it's like a squid or a facehugger with that spine but LOOK! It's yours! XD

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!! That is one HELL of a spine!! And a HUGE head!! There were other angles where you can see the leg bones and the structure of the skull--it's like, weird and bizarre and the coolest shit EVER.

What do you call it? Everyone has like a little pet name. Like peanut or I call Aryn and Remy's Nugget.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

Wow.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

So so so so much wow. It's a baby.

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

For the record, I'm up late running these numbers: based on your genetics and these figures, I can say with 97% certainty that the screening is clean enough to operate with. No sign of trouble with the Bumpette.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Good. Thank you.

[rattle-thecages.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, this is wonderful.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

It's a baby, Rach! It's really a baby!

[youngerpetrelli]

Oh my god. I did an OB/GYN rotation, and I didn't even know what my ability was then, but I swear I felt the whole thing when we did exams and ultrasounds... But then there's that whole amazing moment when you see the baby and he or she is real and it's such a miracle! I'm so excited for you!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

It was! Oh my GOD, it's really a BABY!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Sugoi! So cute!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
