THE STRANGEST SECOND CHANCE

WEEK 10:

Well, to my delight, on our last visit (7/24) with my wonderful doctor, he requested to see ua within 2 weeks! Yessss...I knew this visit would include another chance meeting with Little Bean. According to my books, 'cause you know I reading loads of those things, he/she would no longer look like a manatee but a little more human. I just couldn't wait. Poor Ryan but this was once again was a morning appointment.

The initial check in was just odd. We got stuck with some "nurse" lady who obviously had not done this drill before. Long (but funny) story in a nutshell, she created such an awkwardness that I had forgotten why we were there. I just didn't trust she was entering the correct information in the computer!! Yeah, that bad.

Anyhow, finally, we were back in examining ROOM 4 with the same machine I have learned to love. I was crossing my fingers we didn't need to take a "detour" to see Little Bean!! But, I really didn't care, I just wanted the blurry screen on to my right and us searching. And, well, I got the gel! Double yessssss!! I felt like a pregnant patient, like those seen on TV. I drank loads of water, like my books suggested for a better opportunity to see the little one. The more fluids the better. Retaining that much water was a different story.

Belly exposed with tons of cold gel later...oh, and there it was was, the sweetest image again! There was the head. Okay, I see that. There is the heart beating away. Good, nice and healthy. And, there is his bum? Yep, someone was being camera-shy. Still, he/she looked adorable. The cutest unborn baby on Earth! Little Bean was lying on it's left-side, snoozing or being silly. We saw limbs!! Little arms and legs. He/she had the cutest round head. I believe it is very much taking after it's father. Round head, thin limbs, and anti-social! Cute!!

We must of gotten spoiled 'cause it will be another FULL month, not 2 weeks, until we will scheduled to see him/her. Now I just want to buy my own sonogram machine like Tom Cruise and had full access to seeing our little love at anytime. I use to think he was crazy (and deep inside I still do) but he was on to something with that kooky idea of his. Oh to be disgustingly wealthy....
