We had our 9 week ultrasound today..and it was amazing. We have gone from a tiny jellybean shaped baby to an adorable gummy bear shaped baby...mmmmm... gummy bears sound good. :-) Anyway, we went to make sure that everything was going as it should, and wow, it was amazing to see the difference from 2 weeks ago. The baby was wiggling it's body, waving its arms and legs all over the place. It brought me to tears. We also heard the heartbeat again, and it was strong and fast, just as it should be. Wow, what an experience. There is nothing like it.

I also started announcing our news to the staff at work. It is amazing how fast news travels. Monday I had a 3rd grade class come in and bombard me with hugs. "Congratulations Mrs. Sabot!" "Is there really a baby in your tummy right now?" "You are too skinny to have a baby in there!" "Is it a boy or girl?" "Can we help you pick a name?" By the end of class on Monday I had 6 different lists of possible names for Baby Sabot, most of which were taken from the book/movie "Twilight." One girl even gave me a handmade card with a drawing of "Mr. and Mrs. Sabot's baby" and on the back was her home phone number. She informed me that she had written her number down so that I could call her when I knew if I was having a boy or girl. So cute.
