Probably Not the Last Time Baby Pictures Will Reduce Me to a Sappy Pile of Sap

July 07, 2005

We had one of those fancy new-fangled yuppie-riffic 4D ultrasound things today.

And damn, I'm so blown away and totally in love with my little boy that I'm rendered completely snarkless. I mean, look! A baby! Who is mine!

He spent most of the session hiding behind his hands and sucking on his toes, but he eventually cooperated and let us get a good look at his beautiful little face.

We invited our parents to attend, which meant there were six slightly blubbering adults crammed into the same room.

My mom thinks he looks like me.

Baby2_2

10 fingers, 10 toes. Everything looks perfect.

Baby3

Also cute little ears.

Baby4

12 more weeks until he's here. I seriously can't wait.

Baby5

It was great to meet you today, little guy. Your mama and daddy love you. A lot.

Amazing! Those things are amazing.

I love babies.

De-Lurking here.

How beautiful he is!

I sobbed like the pregnant chick I was when we saw our little girl on the 4D. She looks just like her pictures today even.

Congratulations on putting the face with the boy kicking your liver. :)

Wheeeeee! Sob. Just...wow.
Does he look like you cos he sucks on his toes? Hee.

Posted by: emma | July 07, 2005 at 08:25 PM

He DOES look like you! He's adorable! In about 15 years you'll be beating the girls off him with a stick!

Congrats to you and Jason!

Posted by: kristie | July 07, 2005 at 08:30 PM

I have never seen a 4D ultrasound...wow, absolutely amazing!! Your boy is gorgeous, just like mom & dad!

Posted by: tone | July 07, 2005 at 08:33 PM

Ohhh lordy! He's so cute, with those cheeks and those cupid's bow lips already making little gurgly sounds!

And dude. Huge feet. You're birthing a stallion there. A Studalah.

Posted by: Real Girl | July 07, 2005 at 08:38 PM

Awesome! This baby already rocks.

Obviously, it runs in the family.

OMG I'm weeping here. He's adorable and has beautiful parents.

I love the babies.

Posted by: drea | July 07, 2005 at 08:59 PM

I can't lurk after this... those pictures are AMAZING. Congratulations!!

I REALLY wish they would have had those when I was pregnant.

Posted by: Bonanza Jellybean | July 07, 2005 at 09:01 PM

Congratulations, he is simply beautiful. You and Jason are so so lucky.

Posted by: PaintingChef | July 07, 2005 at 09:13 PM

Awww. He's beautiful. Congratulations, Amy.

Posted by: martha | July 07, 2005 at 09:23 PM

Awwwwwww... Am entirely speechless.

Posted by: L | July 07, 2005 at 09:31 PM

Those pictures are just priceless. I love the one of his adorable little face.

I am anticipating when it is my turn! We are waiting to see how cooperative our little one will be in the next couple of weeks at the ultra-sound. If he/she doesn't reveal themselves, we'll get it sooner than later!

Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Princess | July 07, 2005 at 09:32 PM

Gorgeous! Congratulations :)

Posted by: phaedra | July 07, 2005 at 09:38 PM

What an adorable little guy! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Posted by: VHMPrincess | July 07, 2005 at 10:18 PM

Good stuff, Squishy! And he *does* look like his momma. But I'll betcha he'll be dark like Daddy.

Posted by: Broad | July 07, 2005 at 10:26 PM

So beautiful! congrats to you both. seriously tears in my eyes!

Posted by: Lissa | July 07, 2005 at 10:41 PM

Those are adorable pictures

Congrats!

Posted by: Heather | July 07, 2005 at 10:41 PM

awww! that's amazing and what a cute little facey face!

Posted by: honestyrain | July 07, 2005 at 10:50 PM

I saw on your side links that they suspect the little girl's body has been found. I was saddened. How bittersweet it was at your site today; with the ultrasound pictures and your Hating comment.

Posted by: J | July 07, 2005 at 10:52 PM

How unbearably adorable is he?????? Amalah and Jason, your son is perfect--congratulations to both of you.

I'll bet those pictures make it even easier for you to feel like you're getting to know your sweet little boy already...

Posted by: Kathryn | July 07, 2005 at 11:09 PM

*whimpering*

Posted by: Dr. Johnny Fever | July 07, 2005 at 11:41 PM

I had never seen a 4D sonogram before. That is amazing, he looks so gorgeous.

Posted by: Heather | July 08, 2005 at 01:53 AM

Oh my god he is too cute! I'm not usually one to cry either... And he DOES look like you!

Posted by: Zoe | July 08, 2005 at 05:51 AM

What a very cute squishy!

Posted by: Bethiclaus | July 08, 2005 at 07:38 AM

He is so cute! I have to get one of those NOW cause that is way too cool and a hell of a lot better than those black and white ones.

Posted by: jomama | July 08, 2005 at 07:39 AM

Woow!
amazing cute little boy.
Well done and good luck to the rest of the 12 weeks - and beyond!

Posted by: Franci | July 08, 2005 at 07:55 AM

Amazing! He's so cute, too! All I can say is wow, we didn't have those back in the old days; ultrasounds even were only done in high risk cases.

Posted by: Fran | July 08, 2005 at 08:11 AM

Amalah,

He is unbelievably beautiful! You will have to set aside a whole new space on your page for gorgeous Sqishy pictures!

Posted by: Bren | July 08, 2005 at 08:26 AM

That is just so cute!! That is awesome that you share that with everyone! I enjoy reading your blog its very amusing.

Posted by: Amazon | July 08, 2005 at 08:40 AM

delurking... wow, what a beautiful child! Those toes and fingers are absolutely adorable, how will you ever say no to this child?! :)

Posted by: Corinne | July 08, 2005 at 08:54 AM

wow. I used to think the idea of seeing a 4D image of your baby in utero was creepy. But that was adorable. I think he does look like you.

Posted by: alfredsmom | July 08, 2005 at 09:06 AM

Isn't it AMAZING? Our 3rd child is due in 17 wks, and can totally relate. And as much as you think you love him now, just wait til he's here! I never imagined that I could FEEL that strongly about anyone. And your love for Jason will multiply, as well. It is truly overwhelming.....good luck.

I have never seen an ultrasound picture like that before. How amazing! How exciting for you!

I have to tell you, reading this blog does not help a woman keep her baby fever in check.

Posted by: Frema | July 08, 2005 at 09:16 AM

That's really cool. I had no idea they had ultrasounds like this.

And Frema's right - it's hard to control the baby fever when you do posts like this. Talking about all the gross body reactions though... that's another story! ;)

Posted by: Kitty | July 08, 2005 at 09:21 AM

Those pictures are so amazing. Technology can do some pretty awesome things these days. Thank you for sharing Squishy with us!

Posted by: Sarah | July 08, 2005 at 09:28 AM

I really needed to see something really beautiful today and your little boy made my day. Actually I showed the pictures to everyone that I work with and they all agree that he is very beautiful. Thanks

Posted by: dee | July 08, 2005 at 09:31 AM

You have an absolutely beautiful baby boy :) I agree with everyone else, he does look like you :) I'm SO having a 4D ultrasound next time!

Posted by: Dyllenne | July 08, 2005 at 10:02 AM

Congratulations, the twelve weeks will go fast. Then you will be able to kiss those little feet and ears.

Posted by: Lisa V | July 08, 2005 at 10:16 AM

Thank you guys for sharing your progress and the beautiful pictures with the rest of the masses. He really is perfect. Congratulations, you done good. :)

Posted by: suzanna danna | July 08, 2005 at 10:28 AM

Holy cow. Wow.

Posted by: ben | July 08, 2005 at 10:30 AM

Actually he does look like you! Those 4D ultrasounds are the best andhe looks just beautiful. I can't speak for all the commenters but I'm pretty sure they would agree: we can't wait to "meet" him either!

Have a happy third trimester.

Posted by: warcrygirl | July 08, 2005 at 10:43 AM

Technology is stupidly amazing. Congratulations. May your boy wear his Coach outfits (and i'm SURE there will be such a thing) proudly :)

Posted by: C | July 08, 2005 at 10:48 AM

I am amazed by the technology! It's beautiful. I think when you find out someone is going to have a baby, the hardest part is having to WAIT to see what they look like...you don't!

Congrats, he is BEAUTIFUL...wait that's not a man word...um...HANDSOME, HOT, but most of all...your baby son!
