We had our second ultrasound yesterday! We were amazed at how much the baby grew and developed in just two weeks. Below is a video of a couple of clips we took during the ultrasound. Just as I stopped recording the first clip, little Bean started moving like crazy! Waving its little arm buds and wiggling around. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Of course, as soon as I started recording again, it got shy. Still, if you watch carefully, in the second clip you can kind of see its left arm waving a little. We're not sure if it was waving hello or saying, "Hey! I'm trying to sleep in here. Leave me alone!" You can't really see it in the video but we were sort of able to see the heart beating, too.
10 weeks and two days means I'm that much closer to being finished with the first trimester! Woohoo! Already I'm feeling a teeny bit less exhausted, and the "morning" sickness mostly occurs right after I've eaten and at night (unfortunately when I'm trying to sleep).
Enjoy the video! (Try the first one first, it has audio. Youtube disabled my audio but if the first one doesn't work on your computer silent is better than nothing, right?)
I hope you know that now that you have nicknamed your baby "bean"...that will probably be what I refer to him/her as for the rest of his/her life! ;) Just saying....
ReplyDeletelove you guys!!!

Haha, I'm ok with it, and if Bean doesn't like it when he or she gets older he/she can blame Daddy - it was Alex's idea. :) Love ya too Pi'i!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you Lauren! I don't know if that's weird since we haven't seen each other since we were about 10, but still... My bf and I were playing Punch Out on the Wii a few months ago, and it made me think about playing that at your house when we were little! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like "Bean." I plan on calling my future-child "Peanut."

Omg punchout! I miss those days sometimes. It's not weird. I feel lucky to be in touch again with you and other friends from back in the day. Something so raw and honest about our childhood experiences means you know a real side of me that most could never truly understand. It's nice to be back in contact with people from your past like that, and restart sharing in the present. Thanks for all your wishes. :) it all means a lot to us. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bean! I love this - I keep playing it over and over (though I do hope you choose a different name before he/she is born!)...
ReplyDelete(Hi Sara!)
I'm so happy for you Lauren. You are going to be a fantastic mom! I'm looking forward to meeting Alex one of these days too...I've heard wonderful things about him from your Mom.
ReplyDeleteLove,

That is so cool! You can see their little arm moving! I'm so impressed by you Lauren!
