New Ultrasound Picture and More Info

9 Week, 4 Day UltrasoundOur baby was 31.3mm (about 1.25 inches) in length.  Can you make out the upside down baby?  You can see head, both hands, legs and umbilical cord.  It looks like he or she has a snout, but it is one of the hands next to the face.

When we found out we were going to have a new little one, we had no idea we were going to be joining such a large group of friends doing the same.  I currently know 13 people with the same exciting news, 9 of which are due within the same time period, and 7 of which are local.  As Amy, my friend and fellow pregnancy mate said, if this is any indication of the population as a whole, I’m left hoping for a hospital bed when the time comes!  Then again, many of the friends I met when having Josiah make up that number as they, too, are ready to add a sibling, so my numbers may be skewed.

When I was pregnant with Josiah I didn’t know ANYONE else who was pregnant and due around the same time, so I’m super excited to have company!  I’m praying we all have healthy pregnancies and babies.  And I’m looking forward to some playdates!

How will you know if you are joining this crowd?  Silly things will make you tear up and want to cry (but if you are like me you will fiercely resist!).  The other day Jacob and I happened to be watching Wheel of Fortune, which I haven’t seen since I “babysat” my elderly great aunt when I was 15.  I actually wanted to shed happy tears for the girl who won.  What is my problem?!?!?
