what happens in vegas...

mark and i waited almost an hour and a half for the ultrasound before we were finally ushered into the dimly lit room and belly-gunked up.  in no time were seeing the little heart beat for the first time.  we've all seen ultrasound pics before and so i wasn't feeling too emotional until that little baby stretched out her arms and legs and arched her back and i - usually the model of composure - couldn't help the gasp that escaped me as  i watched our little frankenstein come to life!  mark of course was bawling like a baby and between inconsolable sobs managed to say, "that's pretty cool".  i think we could have watched that little gremlin kick her legs and slam high fives for hours but mark had to get back to work.

so the technician took measurements and consulted charts and pretty much confirmed what i had suspected all along, that this little devil was conceived on halloween in vegas.  thus she (he) shall be henceforth referred to as baby vegas.  according to her size, vegas is scheduled to make her global debut on july 23rd, 2010.  let the predictions begin!  i'll be posting a baby pool on this space quite shortly.

  1. Oh this is awesome. Vegas - cool name. And of course you had to post the ultrasound. OK now I'm definitely coming to Canada to visit.
