33 weeks and 2 days…
47 days till the due date *gulp*
I got a nice reality check this weekend that made the husband and I smile for 2 days. I went to get a 3d ultrasound of the baby at 3dbaby.ca, here are 3 shots from it:
it was really worth it. I was hesitant at first – I mean, it is an unnecessary session that is intended only as ‘non-diagnostic’. It’s really just so you get a keepsake of the baby in your belly. And what a keepsake it is! They let you see the baby for 30 minutes and they record the whole thing on DVD and give you images on a CD as well…
It was so nice to see a face! And to see it move for 30 minutes, look alive, healthy and comfortable… I’m still on a cloud! 
Something clicked in my head after seeing our little boy (they confirmed it was indeed a boy) I was never a ‘baby’ person – you know the kind who gushes when they see little baby shoes and baby pictures, etc. – but after the session on Saturday, the husband and I walked around downtown oakville and went to a clothing store, and when we saw that they had cute little baby clothes… we actually purchased some. Phew! our first baby clothes… wow, we’ve gone a long way…
We kept chatting about the whole thing that night, in bed. I was sharing with the husband that I just sort of realized that, it’s going to be the two of us, and a little boy. There is going to be 3 of us… so weird! Up until now I don’t think I would’ve said anything like what I am about to say but, there is going to be a 3rd person in our little family and I think that’s awesome!
That IS awesome! I’m so happy for you guys – and having a little boy is so much fun!! I was never into baby things, pre-pregnancy either. BUT that all changed once we had our son, now everything baby makes ME go ga-ga
I studied the hypnobirthing technique for my previous labour and delivery and it was totally worth it! It was extremely helpful and luckily my husband was on board with it so he was the best birthing coach imaginable.
Don’t sweat the l&d- you’ll do great because your body was made to do it! xo
p.s. Your little guy looks SO handsome already!!
