When we first took a look during our second session, he was in exactly the same position. We were afraid that, once again, he wouldn't show his face. What's more is he wasn't moving around; He was asleep. Go figure, we ate turkey for lunch. So, to get the baby moving, Sandi gave Amy some chocolate (sugar) to get him going...and it worked. For the rest of the session, he kept his hands out of his face. What we saw next was the face of a baby that looks so much like me it's unreal. As my sister said, he's an Amy version of me. But enough. What do you think?...
My nose maybe? Amy's eyes? Whatever the similarities, it's amazing to see his face already. To be able to see facial expressions....wow. In a way you feel like you're cheating. In the same way some people don't want to know the sex of their child until their born, I guess some wouldn't want to know what the baby looks like until they arrive. Amy and I on the other hand are all about it. We are excited at having the technology available to us. It was a surprise when we saw him yesterday, and when he finally arrives in a few weeks, we'll be able to see him with even greater clarity. Through the various ultrasounds, we've been able to see him with just a little more clarity each time. Like a variable lens scope, the distant object gets closer and closer with each adjustment. 1x....2x....4x....8x.....birth. It's exciting and Amy and I can't wait to hold him in our hands.
