You know what's funny? I think I've come full circle as far as early ultrasounds go. Back in the day, before I had children of my own, I wasn't all that interested in other people's ultrasounds. They just looked like blobs to me. I was excited for them because it was their baby, but I couldn't recognize anything they were pointing out to me and even if I could, I didn't really care.
Then I got pregnant with Shaun and every ultrasound was a picture of my baby that I treasured. I carried that first ultrasound in my purse and showed anyone who would look. Same story with Ian. Now that I'm on baby #3 and pregnancy #5 I'm back at the start again. This baby, while I know it's growing inside me and I'm so excited to meet it, I can't really tell too much from the blurry picture. I can recognize the leg buds and where the yolk sac, brain and eyeballs are but that's about it. I certainly won't be carrying around this picture with me. It's not that I don't care, I've just evolved as a Mum and I realize now that ultrasound images are much more important to the parents than anyone else. Just for the record though, I posted this picture for those of you who have been consistently harassing me for pictures! :P
