Ultrasound Pictures

Well, its hard to believe but the holidays have officially come and gone. That being said, we're thrilled by the thought that our new addition will be here this year!

As promised, here are the first pictures of Baby Weiland. When Shelly and I went in for the ultrasound, the Technician asked if we wanted to know the sex, to which we replied "no." They say when you want to find out what the sex is, the baby tends to not show what its going to be. Since we didn't want to know (and according to our UT) our bundle-of-joy was "trying to flaunt it" to us. The UT must have asked us 5-6 times to look away since Baby Weiland was beyond active the moment the ultrasound started. In fact, within a couple seconds of the beginning of the ultrasound Shelly and I got to see our baby actually wave at us. Not only that, the baby's hand was wide open so we could see all the little fingers. It was beyond amazing and something the two of us will never forget and cherish forever.

As for the pictures, the top one is obviously a full view of our baby. This was actually the last picture the UT took, since he was trying to get the baby to roll over on its back. However, at that point Baby Weiland must have decided it was time to take a nap after the earlier performance. You'll notice the baby's head peacefully resting on Mommy's bladder catching up on some "Zzzz's."

The next picture shows the baby's head, body and his or her right arm, elbow and hand.

The last one was actually our first-ever baby picture. Shelly and I, along with the UT got a nice chuckle out of this one. Apparently, our baby is going to be a future rocker and as a result the UT decided to entitle this picture "Ozzy." If you look at the center you'll notice the baby's hand with its pinkie and index fingers sticking up while the middle and ring fingers are tucked down. Apparently, our baby was jamming that morning. Needless to say, it was yet another wonderful moment that only made us happier.

Well, that's it for now. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and coming soon will be pics of the nursery furniture!
