We're Going to Visit You on Tuesday

Your mom and I can hardly contain ourselves! In two more days, we actually get to see you floating around in your little womb apartment! On May 17, 2005 at 7:30 PM, we have our 20-week ultrasound appointment.

Your poor mom has to drink a whole liter of water and hold it during the procedure. Last time we went for your 6-week ultrasound, she had to get up to go to the bathroom because she just couldn't hold it any longer. Even after going to the bathroom, the ultrasound technician told us that her bladder was full! Can you imagine how full it must've been BEFORE she went to the bathroom!? This time, I think your mom is only going to drink half the amount of required water. Your mom is a little, petite girly girl. She still gets carded when we go to restaurants because she looks like she's 12 years old.

So, in two days, we actually get to see you in black-and-white, 2D. This is the time that the doctor can determine your sex. Your mom and I don't want to know your sex, so we'll have to look away when they're looking at your privates. I want to look really bad, since I think I'm a doctor, but I won't. The ultrasound technician will know your sex that night, but your mom and I won't. That's weird.

The ultrasound is also performed to make sure that you have all your digits, and make sure that everything is developing like it should be. Odd, statistics and genetics are in our favor, so I'm not worried one bit. You're a healthy, bouncing baby Filias, and you're probably wondering right now how long you're going to be couped up in that tight womb apartment. Don't worry, it won't be long... and if you're like your dad, Uncle Peter and Aunt Gina, you'll be making your way out of the womb two weeks early, walking by the ninth month, and speaking, reading and writing two languages by the time you're two.

We heard your heartbeat at six weeks... I wonder what we'll see at 20 weeks.

By the way, your mom has already felt you moving around. What are you doing in there? I know, I know... that umbilical cord is probably pretty restrictive, and you're probably yearning for a larger room. Don't worry. You'll have a huge room when you're ready to come out, and I'll be the one that cuts that umbilical cord, so you'll be free as a bird by the time you take your first few breaths! Plus, we're already looking at larger houses to make sure you have plenty of room to grow and play! We were actually looking for houses today.

So, bear with this development thing. You're halfway there. You'll be out, breathing sweet air in no time at all! I really cannot wait to meet you! And just think about this... in 20 - 30 years, you'll be writing the same kind of silly nonsense to your unborn baby! Now that's exciting!
