Sprout
Finally, finally, some evidence – for my own eyes – that this pregnancy is more than just nausea and vomiting and unremitting fatigue. Proof that there’s a there in there, and that there is occupied:
That’s Super Sprout, and from the way that he or she is kicking my ass, Sprout is going to have a lot in common with the Wonderbaby.

How long before you know if it’s a he or she? Another month?
Nov 19, 2007
beautiful.
Nov 19, 2007
Amazing how a picture – a picture! – can almost make all the sandy-eyelids-syndrome and gagging worth it, huh?
WonderSprout is beautiful. Congratualtions, Catherine.
Nov 19, 2007
That’s an incredibly clear picture… hope mine comes out so well. Cutie.
Nov 19, 2007
What a perfect picture!

OK I don’t know what’s up with my hormones but this made me burst into tears. *whew*
Congrats, and it is so cool to see Super Sprout!
Nov 19, 2007
That is a great first picture of the little one! You have the cutest little gray alien baby I have seen in a long while.
Nov 19, 2007
it made me cry!!!
Nov 19, 2007
Congratulations! No matter how many of those ultrasound pictures I see, I never cease to marvel over them. It’s such a miracle.
Nov 19, 2007
Oh! A baby!
Nov 19, 2007
It’s funny how you can convince yourself that maybe, somehow, you’re just putting yourself through this for nothing…until finally, s/he is there. REAL!
Hiya, Sprout!
Nov 19, 2007
Yah! It’s a baby!
Nov 19, 2007
Super Sprout is super cute.
Nov 19, 2007
Ohhhh…what a great picture…love those ultrasound shots….makes it all seem so very real. Hope the nausea leaves you soon.
Nov 19, 2007
Gorgeous. I treasure those blurry little pictures from the inside.
Nov 19, 2007
hello, super sprout!
Nov 19, 2007
Hey there kiddo! Good looking, and verrrrry busy — a wonder sibling indeed.
Nov 19, 2007
Well, Howdy, Little WonderSprout!
I love those US shots – our firstborn was named based on her profile on US, and darn if she didn’t look exactly like we thought she would.
Nov 19, 2007
That first photo is the absolutely gorgeous. You’ve got yourself another spirited beauty!
Nov 19, 2007
wow, that’s an amazing profile… grow baby, grow!
Nov 19, 2007
I can’t even come up with a smart-alecky comment.
So happy for you guys. xo
Nov 19, 2007
I LOVE those sneak peek ultra sound pics. I still have both J and O’s on the fridge.
Grow, baby! Grow!
Nov 19, 2007
Hey… there!
Be nice to yo’ mama.
But nice to seeing you looking good.
(Isn’t it amazing how it makes it so much less abstract?)
Nov 19, 2007
Hey there Sprout. Take it easy on Mommy, eh? At least until you’re ready to hit the outside!
Nov 19, 2007
That is one fine looking Sprout. Ultrasounds photos always amaze me.
Nov 19, 2007
What? I thought you were just making all this up.
HEH.
Sprout looks gorgeous.
Nov 19, 2007
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! I forgot how amazing it is to see this – feel the cold goopy stuff on your belly and watch the wand thingy elicit this image (clearly of a loving, talented, graceful child.) I send you love and a bit of envy…
OH and by the way the last time I read a Zen Koan it was in NINE STORIES or FRANNY AND ZOOEY — can’t remember which — and I was almost as young as Wonderbaby (hyperbole but still – what fun to think about them again…)
Nov 19, 2007
looks just like you. heh.
Nov 19, 2007
How wonderful!
My pictures (though precious) aren’t that life like.I keep holding them upside down when I show people.
It’s so amazing to see the ultrasound pictures
Nov 19, 2007
beautiful!
Nov 19, 2007
Ultrasounds are just one of the most amazing things ever. A baby! Yay!
Nov 19, 2007
hey super sprout! Listen, lovey, go easy on your mama, you have lots of years left to kick her ass -take your time!
Nov 19, 2007
The baby has your profile!
Nov 19, 2007
Hooray for proof!
I had an OB appointment today too. Our munchkin was waving at us…
Such fun to see the little person inside.
Nov 19, 2007
So you’re the one who has been making your Mama puke so much. He/She is lucky he/she is such a cute fetus.
Nov 19, 2007
How beautifully amazing. Congrats!!
Do we know any details yet? That we will share? Since this is a plural event? Or maybe you are royalty. ;0)

I kinda like that, Super Sprout. It has a nice ring too it. Super Sprout is gorgeous.
Nov 19, 2007
Great posture too!
Nov 19, 2007
How I love the grainy beauty of an ultrasound picture. Looks as though the sprout is giving a big thumbs up.
Nov 19, 2007
Julie – still too early for any info other than ‘baby looks good.’ No pee-pees or va-jay-jays spotted, in other words
But yes, I am royalty.
And?
Nov 19, 2007
looks like a peanuts cartoon character
Nov 20, 2007
“super sprout” love it.
congrats again
Nov 20, 2007
awesome! it certainly helps to see, dunnit? and sprout is a great handle.
Nov 20, 2007
Great reminder you’re not just puking pointlessly. Love the US picture!!!
Nov 20, 2007
Wow, now how did you post this?? I wanted to show everyone my Skeletor ultrasound but couldn’t figure out how to do it. I’m slow.
Congrats. Aren’t ultrasounds the coolest thing? I like visible proof – makes it all seem that much more real.
Nov 20, 2007
Congratulations…it is always wonderful to see a brand new baby.
Nov 20, 2007
Super Sprout. I love it.
Nov 20, 2007
Ultrasound pictures were the one thing that kept me sane throughout my pregnancy. It put everything in perspective and certainly justified the morning (afternoon, evening) sickness!
Nov 20, 2007
I’m weepy and a first-time reader! What a perfect, perfect picture.
Nov 20, 2007
Hi Super Sprout!! Nice to see you – now be nice to your mama!!
Nov 20, 2007
well. if you were less of a kick ass yourself your children wouldn’t be booting your booty so bad.
I raise my glass to their ass kickingness.
damn. a huge part of me is so jealous.
Nov 21, 2007
Darling!
Nov 21, 2007
Isn’t it incredible — life is so good! (it’ll be even better when the vomiting stops, I understand)
Nov 21, 2007
Amazing…simply sublime…
Hello there, Little One!
Nov 21, 2007
The first time I say an ultrasound photo, I actually said “What the hell? What the hell am I supposed to be looking at?”
Apparently there have been some upgrades in sonogram technology over the years because that there looks like an actual little person.
Yay!
Nov 21, 2007
Awesome! Ultrasounds are always the best.. and they make up for everything involved.
This also leads to the question, are mothers really the only people that can make out what’s what on those without the training the tech gets?
Congrats again!
Nov 21, 2007
Beautiful!! Look at that spine, amazing.
Nov 21, 2007
That is amazing. What a wonderful shot.
Nov 21, 2007
Congrats!!! I’m so happy for you! Hope you feel AWESOME for the duration!
Nov 21, 2007
Heeee…so cute!!!
Mine just looked like an upsets alien!
Yeah…mine is beating the crap outta my uterus these days.
Nov 21, 2007
Wow, u/s pix never cease to amaze me. Excellent first baby pictures – congrats!
Nov 22, 2007
Amazing picture. Your baby has a spine! Yay!
Nov 25, 2007
That is an outstanding ultrasound photo! It’s a REAL baby!
I have my u/s in a week and a half. I can’t wait for the picture!
Nov 26, 2007
Sprout is beautiful!
Nov 28, 2007
Cute baby, love u/s pics
