Let me start with this gem. I thought this was SO funny, and so so so true.
I've been feeling movement off and on since about 16 weeks or so. It's definitely gotten stronger and more defined though in the last few weeks! So much so that Alex was able to feel the baby kick twice!
We went to Yokosuka on May 8th to have our Anatomy Scan (basically a high powered ultrasound to see much more in depth: bones, blood flow, chambers of the heart, kidneys, organs, etc.) It was a really amazing appointment. We got to hear each of the 4 chambers beating, we got to see her open and close both of her hands, kick her feet, and turn over and over and over. Another very exciting moment, we got to see that she is, in fact, a SHE!
A few weeks prior I'd sent out confetti poppers to close family and a few friends; one wrapped in green and one in yellow, one filled with pink and one with blue. That way, when we found out we could tell them to pop their x popper and find out, without waiting! After our appointment, we hurried out to the car and Facetimed with everyone! Here are a few of the pictures of everyone finding out!
The first: Alex's sister Katie. (No one but her answered their phones!)
Jon had set up his camera with his bluetooth shutter thing, so he could get everyone in the pictures! That's us on my mom's phone :)
screenshots from my phone watching them find out.
Alex's parents:
And I had to include this amazing shot of them popping champagne.
Joey & Angela, the Godparents
and Megan!
(her dog tried to eat all the confetti!)
Here are two shots from the ultrasound, both profiles.
Obviously we'd already found out, but we had a popper for ourselves we wanted to pop to announce it elsewhere.
SO excited for this baby girl of ours!
