A while back I phoned the radiologist to make our second trimester ultrasound. I expected that we would make the appointment a few weeks off from that day, around week 20/21. A few more weeks to be filled with anticipation about whether our nugget was a little he or she. "Can you come in today?" asked the radiologist. Today.... today? It was a little like someone saying on December 14th, well then, shall we just celebrate Christmas tomorrow?
And so I left work early. On the way home I stopped into a thrift store we had walked past the night before, to check out a rug I saw in the window that I thought might be nice in the baby's room. The rug wasn't a keeper, but I thought that these vintage salt + pepper shakers would be so so cute as shelf decoration.

We had the technician make a note of it for us, so that we could look at it together afterward. Except.... we both caught what we were each pretty sure was an undeniable... feature... sure enough!

Yup. There's a little guy in that belly! We are all very excited! And I am so glad to finally share this with you!
(Hm. I wonder if I will get in trouble one day from my son for flashing this for the world to see. Remind me to delete it before he learns how to use the computer. Which is what, 8 months these days?)
