Awwwww Baaaabyyyyy

12 week ultrasound/first trimester screen today. Checks for some big genetic abnormalities, makes sure everything's growing right (brain, arms, legs, kidneys), and also checks for CUTENESS.

7.34 cm Human Baby Padilla (yes, that's the name we chose.)

Danielle says the baby looks like it has a duck beak, but I quickly let her know that that little "beak" means that he likely doesn't have Downs Syndrome, so we'll take a little ducky baby for now.

By the way, you're looking at my kid. That lives in my body. That's growing like crazy. THAT IS SO CUTE, RIGHT? Everything on this baby is as good as it could look now, according to the doctors. We are so, so happy, and it was totally insane and addicting to see him moving around on the screen. Arms and legs everywhere. Fingers and toes, the whole bag. Even opened his mouth--AWWW--kind of weird and gross because he pees and drinks the same stuff. Yeah--now it's EWWW, but look at it this way:

it's a circle of LIFE.

And one day Frank and I will be presenting our baby on Pride Rock just like Mufasa and Sarabi.

Baby's still cute. End of discussion.
