Brace yourselves - Extreme cuteness within

[bronwynrh]

First of all, I want to wish nancymccoyhicks a very happy birthday. You've had a rough year, this next one just has to be better!

Now, for the pictures.



Samuel Patrick has a perfect-looking heart; Lisa the Nurse told us he was showing off with his perfect heartrate, which varied between 125 and 155. I had no idea baby's heartrates oscillated so regularly. Very cool, neh?



Ok, I also had no idea that with a sonogram, you can see that baby's eyes are open. Cool, but also creepy. I can't look at this one for too long.



After 2 hours of monitoring, 1 hour of waiting, poking and prodding and no lunch, mommy and baby were both ready for a nap.



Holy cow. He looks just like me! Those cheeks and that nose are pure Ramey :) I wonder what he'll look like when he's done cookin'?

Time will tell, my love. You're probably right.

Amazing! Sonogram photos are so exciting. He is a cutie and I LOVE his name.
With my first, in 2002, we happened to be in for our 20 week sono at our hospital which was a GE beta site for their 3D US. The rep for the machine asked us if we would like to have a few pics taken and of course we said yes! The technology has really emerged. With C, 3D was just standard fare at my OB office. You will find him to totally resemble these very photos when he "pops out" (as my niece puts it ;).

I'm so excited!

One of my coworkers was just talking about that, the other day. She mentioned how, looking at pictures of her son (who is now about 18 months old) and comparing them to the sonograms, he's got the same expression.

Apparently, her husband replied, "Wow... it's as if it was the exact same child!" (;

That's a-MAZE-ing!

Awwww! So precious, and absolutely beautiful. :)

I was pretty confident we'd make a pretty baby, but it's good to see some proof :)

Now I have to hope no one whips out the vacuum extractor thingie and messes up his pretty little head.

Awww, awesome pictures! I'm jealous I don't get another ultrasound... but I'd rather not have a scare like you did to get on of course. :)

[bramey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I felt like such a dink, but . . . there was so much blood, I couldn't ignore it. . . but I knew everything had to be fine. Ugh. I don't want to appear to be one of Those Women who panics at everything, but since it's not just me we're talking about, I guess my panic threshold is lower :)

I did the same thing with Gregory at about 4 months. Really scarey. But it all worked out just fine.

[tonya.livejournal.com]

That's the hard part about blood in the toilet. You never know where it actually came from!

*squee!*

He looks just gorgeous - and I can see both of you in him. (:

[bramey.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to meet him person.


Well I can.
I mean I have to, right?

But, you know.

I printed the last picture and have shown him to all my friends here at the office. So precious.

So cute!

I didn't know that about baby heartrates until a friend's son was in the NICU. I went to visit, and was watching the monitor and freaking out. She then explained how there was a certain range of acceptable rates.

[bramey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was told that it goes steady when they're sleeping, but when they're awake and active, the rate goes up and down in a regular pattern.

It was really cool to hear his heart on the monitor, and then to hear his kicks and - always fun - hiccups.

I'm glad though, that my doctor agreed to monitor me only half the time when I'm in labor. So I can be up and about and doing what I want to do for half an hour, and only be strapped down for half an hour at a time. I'm going to be strict about it, too!

It's a baby! :)
Remember the episode of Friends in which Rachel has an ultrasound, Ross can make out the features but Rachel can't?

I'm trying but I only see baby in the last one. I mean, I know that the others are baby but I can't pinpoint any body parts.

I can walk you through the yawn or the stink-eye picture, then you'll know what you're looking at :)
