Every time I've seen other people's ultrasound pictures, I've struggled to see what is where and how that blob actually makes up a human being.
Now I get it
We had our own very first ultrasound on Friday and immediately when it was on the screen, we both were speechless as it was VERY obvious where the head was and we watched all four limbs moving about! I couldn't believe how clear the image was of what was where! She took a couple pictures, pointed out the umbilical cord, the dissipating yolk sack, and saw/heard that little heartbeat. That's right, folks! We've got a live one here!
We enjoyed every moment staring at the screen. Ty was trying to kiss me and I struggled to take my eyes off the screen to enjoy the moment with him as I was afraid it would go away any second.
She finished up the exam, and handed us our printouts of our wiggly little one. What were the printouts of?
A blob that doesn't look like a human being.
Now from these pictures, I can still picture our little one squirming and the pictures help bring back those video moments... but now I get it. I get why people show off their ultrasound pictures. They see something different than the rest of the world ;)
Are we going to show off those pictures once we announce? Well of course! But feel free to fake the smiles and give a puzzling nod as you try to figure out what is where- no offense taken! Nope, not one bit.
But that blob you see? Well that's our little living blob who is currently wiggling around inside my tummy whom we already love like crazy.
