Brennyn found a Phil Hendrie story about a puppet that wants to be called “Rick Sunderland” really funny this evening.
This is a sure sign of how tired working all of these days at the hospital, and growing a baby at the same time, can be.
She’s still laughing about it.
These are some pictures we took on the day of the first ultrasound. Brennyn on the bed where the scan was done, one of Brennyn talking to admissions, one of the ultrasound machine, and one of me being excited.

…back on the 10th of this month, Brennyn and I went for the first ultrasound of Smudgy, the baby. We found out that the Smudgester was only 6 weeks and 1 day old on that day – which makes it 7 weeks and 6 days today.
I make light of the day by calling our baby “Smudgy” (just look at the photo, for God’s sake), but it was one of the most exciting days I can remember. Seeing the heartbeat for the first time was simply amazing. Something just surged through me when I saw that flicker. Brennyn might tell you I was just a little gassy – but, I think it was something a little more profound. Not that gas didn’t play a roll – but it was likely only a very small one.
Our next ultrasound is scheduled for next Tuesday, the 29th of December. We’ll be 8 weeks and 6 days along then.
