Proof of Life February 29, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Family, My Handsome Husband, Pregnancy, Princess Hannah, Saba , trackbackI had an ultrasound today, because my very pregnant belly is obviously not proof enough that I am indeed pregnant. The medical school acquired a machine not to long ago and it is the only machine on the island. This particular ultrasound machine didn’t have the appropriate probe to peek in on little babies sleeping in their mommy’s bellies, so the picture wasn’t as easy to understand. However, we saw our little guy one yawn (or swallow, you know, it was kind of hard to tell) and this little one does have hands, feet, arms, legs, a head, heart, ribs, and vertebrae. That was nice to know. I mean, it really looks like an alien still, but I’m sure it will come out just as cute as Hannah. I am now 20 weeks pregnant (HOORAY!!! I’M 1/2 WAY DONE!), and in three weeks David and I (and Hannah Bear of course) will fly to Sint Maarten to have a “real ultrasound” with a “real OB” to find out the sex, and other stuff, you know.

Darling Emily, David & Princess Hannah,
Where did the time go? How is that you are leaving paradise and we didn’t come to visit?
I am so sad and amazed that David is going on to rotations. Do you know where you are going? Could you ever consider Texas home again? Your blog is lovely and I’ve enjoyed perusing it. Thanks for sending the link.

I love your new blog header… it is great! Where do you find them?
Congrats on ‘seeing’ the baby. I agree at this stage they look like little aliens… I used to have nightmares about the portion of the movie “Space Balls” when the alien pops out of the woman’s stomach and does a dance on a counter! I’m with you on that one!
Enjoy your last eight weeks! I can’t imagine that it is over… and you will be back into civilization!
Con todo amor,
Andrea
CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT!!!
Can’t to hear what you are having! So exciting.
