Shea and I went for an ultrasound today and got to see our first glimpse of the baby. No glimpse of twins (unfortunately) or whether it had dangly bits. But it was still pretty cool to see the little guy/gal swimming around. The technician had to wake the baby up by giving Shea's belly a poke but once Oscar was awake, he/she kicked his/her feet, waved “hello” at us and then did a somersault for good meaasure. It goes without saying that we have the cutest baby ever!
I attempted to digitally enhance the photo a bit so it wasn't so dark but this is about as good as I could get it. Oscar's laying on his/her back with the head to the right side of the picture.

Hello Oscar! Say hi to your mom and dad from Great Uncle Tom, Great Auntie Dolores, 2nd cousin Rylan and “Aunt” Jacqui (I'm claiming the title of aunt because I can, legally of course I will still be a cousin).
Have fun swimming!
How does your wife feel about having a picture of her uterus on the internet?
I don't know – it's like that cow's head shaped thing that suposedly represents a woman's reproductive system they show us in sex ed in grade seven – nothing really tawdry to be found, even if you're trying! (To answer the question, I have Shea's permission to post this photo – I'm not that crazy!)
Thanks for the message. It'll be good to see all of you guys in a few weeks. And you're right, I think Oscar will have *lots* of “extended” aunts and uncles.
