Let the baby pictures begin!
Soon this will no longer just be a knitting blog, it'll also be a pregnancy and child-raising blog where I share pictures that I hope will be unbelievably cute. Of course, right now, all I have are ultrasound pictures, which are pretty blurry, but at least confirm that the baby is alive, growing, and seemingly healthy so far. This was yesterday's regularly scheduled 11-week ultrasound where they measure for potential abnormalities; everything seemed to be fine, knock wood & cross fingers! Last week I went to the ER because I was sure I was going through the same thing as last time, that I had lost the baby but just hadn't started bleeding yet. I was so panicked my blood pressure had skyrocketed (normally my BP is very good). After a very long wait, I got an ultrasound and got to see the baby's heart beating with my own eyes for the very first time... In other words, it was a false alarm, thank goodness. It sure is a wonder to see the little heart beating over 170 bpm!!

Congratulations on all the photos/heartbeat sounds! I'm sure it feels great to get there.
Over 170? wow, that's fast! Old Wive's tales suggest that you're having a girl!

Wait a minute... Who's this Maryse-Lisa Fortin? It would be just like them to send you home with the wrong baby, wouldn't it? :-)
YAY!!! Hello, beautiful little baby!!!
Oooooooh, fantastic!!!!!
I am so thrilled!!
Ahem, Mr. John Lorne Beaton... Maryse-Lisa is how my name appears on my govenment ID. I'm convinced my parents (or the hospital, I suppose) filled out my birth certificate wrong, as Maryse is supposed to be my middle name.
That's great news! And I can even sort of recognize the baby, which is itself pretty darn amazing, because those ultrasounds usually just look like blobs to me. Your blob is distinctly little person-shaped.
Hmm, I sent you an email a few weeks back, and never heard back from you -- do you have my new address or did it go to spam? :)
Are we still seeing each other Thursday?
Congratulations on your good news and on your pregnancy! You and your teeny one will be in my thoughts.
