Guest Blogger! Elizabeth Visits for the 4-D Ultrasound

Hi Everyone! I came to visit for Allison's ultrasound and to supervise her life - its what I do best ; ). Anyway, it was a wonderful experience to get to meet Baby Godwin 10 weeks before he/she starts breathing oxygen. (PS How weird is it that the baby is floating in liquid one minute and the next will be outside and no longer connected to Allison's insides? I ask these things because Allison continually forces me to listen to the scary...err... i mean beautiful details of her pregnancy!) Michael and I were quite the entourage at the Dr's office today! (And when the staff asked why she needed so many people in the Ultrasound Room- I let the staff know that "She is just that high maintenance!") OK - enough teasing of my fabulous sister, and on to the precious little one who will hopefully inherit my long legs and my sense of humor.

Baby G is most definitely in for a lot of love when he or she makes their way out of the womb - because i am obsessed. And you will be too when you see this picture:

Hello Gorgeous! Does this say "I am an angel and Obviously I have some EXTREMELY awesome genes" or what? Baby G was fast asleep when the lovely ultrasound tech was shoving the tool thingy in his or her face. Which led to a really unpleasant face which I have seen on Allison's face more than once (mainly in 7th grade when i needed the phone and she was on it).

Next up was Baby G's foot - or what we could get without seeing the "special parts" that we had to avoid.

So there is the "First" footprint and to me it looks like Baby G is lucky enough to avoid the scary IRVIN foot - i don't see a large bunion in the making so YEAH for the Godwin genes prevailing!

We attempted to check out the hands - but Baby G likes to chew on his or her hands... so all we could see were the hands in the mouth. Which is pretty durn cute!

And on to the other baby body parts! Below is Baby G's chest, chin, and arm. You can see the large portion of his or her's 3 pounds 6 ounces! That is the Baby's weight now. Allison has like a quart and a half size baby in her... so the next time you go the grocery, grab a quart of milk or cream and then tuck it under your shirt or pants and then we can sympathize! Plus she has like all that amniotic fluid which she estimates to be couple of pints (so you can grab some creamers for that and tuck those into your pants too) and then we can understand the baby belly! I think i will go do that tomorrow... just to see what kind of reaction I can get... Maybe i will post those for her next week.

So back to the baby... Here is one last shot. And its a good one! You

have to love a baby pic when the nose is smooshed up to the uterine wall (is that how you spell uterine?) and the tiny foot is up to the hand! How precious? This baby is a lamb! And I cannot wait to teach it Raffi songs, and then how to pester his or her mother the way she pestered me as a child and as she does now occasionally!

Well, Allison is telling me that I am done posting and done drinking wine! But I hope everyone enjoys the Baby G pics! Who is ready to meet the little one!! ME!!!!!
