I just
promised everyone I wouldn't be that dad. LOL. Swear
to you that if I wasn't so unbelievably blown
away by these 10 minutes, I wouldn't be doing an
entry... but, WOW:
I didn't even
bother with making a professional video out of that.
That is the straight up file from the camera. What an
unbelievable 10 minutes. That little bugger is movin'
all over the place! It's only 11 weeks! And yes,
although only 95% sure, the doctor thinks it's a girl.
We'll save the name until we know for sure. Looks like
that will be April 9th... which is still way early
from what I've read, but hey - I just watched a 3D
image of my baby on an HDTV and posted it across the
world today on these magical tubes and my parents can
watch it on their FUCKING PHONES. Everything I've
ever understood about life has just been blown out of
the world. Do you mind if I take 10 minutes and watch
that entire thing over again?
Wow. Oh and those
wondering what my reaction to having a girl is? My
first thought was "AWESOME! We're having two kids!".
LMAO. If the 2nd one is a girl? "Hell yes! A big
family of THREE!" HAHAHAHA. Guys, I really just
don't care. Just be healthy. And now to the
embarrassing part (as if my "Clitoris vs. Knee" line
wasn't bad enough in the video)...
First, how cool is
it that you can see the mouth and a smile there. :)
But, you're tellin' me that's the clitoris? Uhm. If
the girl has a clitoris down to her thigh, what does
that make her? And how stupid am I for typing
that sentence about my own daughter? (sigh). I'll take
the doctor's word for it about the direction being the
tell-tale sign, but since she's right at 11 weeks
measurement-wise, I am baffled that you can have an
even 90% assurance. Everything I read said 16
weeks... and 13 at the earliest. He did admit before
12 weeks he's more guarded and has been wrong. In fact
his best friend did an ultrasound the same time, it
looked just like this, he told them it was a girl and
a few weeks later he went "nope, it's a boy". Again, I
want a boy and a girl so this just means the girl is
first. :)
Now, this 3D
stuff? What?
It's nowhere near
as cool as the video though. I had NO idea you
could do that at 11 weeks. When he popped that on my
jaw dropped to my knees. Talya is barely
showing. We still can't even believe it. And the 4D
Realtime thing? What the how? WOW. I mean, WOW.
Again, I do NOT want this blog to be every moment
the kid does anything different, and
I don't want to load an hour's worth of
ultrasounds on YouTube every couple of months, but I
am legitimately shocked at how far technology
has come with SOUNDWAVES. You know? Supremely awesome.
So excited. So happy. Cannot believe I ever for
one second was sad about anything else on the planet
because life is so wonderful oh my GOD holy
balls.
