ULTRA SOUND - MEET FOZZIE BEAR!

Well, already our little nugget has been labeled as 'perfect,' but I'm sure you all knew that was just a matter of time! I'm looking in to fetal gifted programs this afternoon. It's never too early to get started. Winners don't rest on laurels...

As you can see to the right, that's Fozzie! I'm re-naming from Neicephew to Fozzie because the heart beat sounds like: wokka wokka wokka wokka. Fozzie's heart beat is 164!

Zach got to see Fozzie first, as the screen was pointed away from me. By the way, NO ONE TOLD ME WHAT THE FIRST ULTRA SOUND WAS LIKE - THAT WAS SOME INFO SOMEONE COULD HAVE PASSED ALONG! For those of you that are like I was, let's just say this: the first ultrasound isn't done on top of the belly...

Awkward moment with your husband in the room and your feet in stirrups aside, the placenta is coming along nicely, and that thing you think is it's head is actually the 'yolk' so to speak. Fozzie is in profile. It was more clear in the office...especially when YOU COULD VISIBLY SEE FOZZIE'S HEART BEATING.

And then, we heard it: WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA. It was the most incredible sound of our lives. I won't say Z teared up, because I'm sure he doesn't want me to compromise his manly profile (he did), but I was practically bawling. The Ultrasound person said it straight up, "EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT! THAT'S A PERFECT 8.5 WEEK SPECIMEN."

So, I'm sure this is daunting for all of you looking to become a mom knowing that my kid is already perfect, and your kid will have a hard time keeping up, but I'm sure even if they don't get in the same magnet school, my kid will still be nice to your kid. Fozzie is a giver.
