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.

  7. daysgoby

    Amazing how a picture – a picture! – can almost make all the sandy-eyelids-syndrome and gagging worth it, huh?

    WonderSprout is beautiful. Congratualtions, Catherine.

  8. Hannah

    That’s an incredibly clear picture… hope mine comes out so well. Cutie.

  13. Don Mills Diva

    Congratulations! No matter how many of those ultrasound pictures I see, I never cease to marvel over them. It’s such a miracle.

  14. Beck

    Oh! A baby!

  15. NotSoSage

    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!

  16. motherbumper

    Yah! It’s a baby!

  17. Assertagirl

    Super Sprout is super cute.

  18. Mommato2

    Ohhhh…what a great picture…love those ultrasound shots….makes it all seem so very real. Hope the nausea leaves you soon.

  19. Janet

    Gorgeous. I treasure those blurry little pictures from the inside.

  20. slouching mom

    hello, super sprout!

  21. Mimi

    Hey there kiddo! Good looking, and verrrrry busy — a wonder sibling indeed.

  22. FishyGirl

    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.

  23. something blue

    That first photo is the absolutely gorgeous. You’ve got yourself another spirited beauty!

  24. sweetney

    wow, that’s an amazing profile… grow baby, grow!

  25. mothergoosemouse

    I can’t even come up with a smart-alecky comment.

    So happy for you guys. xo

  26. mamatulip

    I LOVE those sneak peek ultra sound pics. I still have both J and O’s on the fridge.

    Grow, baby! Grow!

  27. kittenpie

    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?)

  28. The Hotfessional

    Hey there Sprout. Take it easy on Mommy, eh? At least until you’re ready to hit the outside!

  29. Lawyer Mama

    That is one fine looking Sprout. Ultrasounds photos always amaze me.

  30. Motherhood Uncensored

    What? I thought you were just making all this up.

    HEH.

    Sprout looks gorgeous.

  31. Cynthia Samuels

    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…)

  32. ali

    looks just like you. heh.
    :)

  33. Laural Dawn

    How wonderful!
    It’s so amazing to see the ultrasound pictures :) My pictures (though precious) aren’t that life like.I keep holding them upside down when I show people.

  34. Liz

    beautiful!

  35. Naomi (Urban Mummy)

    Ultrasounds are just one of the most amazing things ever. A baby! Yay!

  36. Karen

    hey super sprout! Listen, lovey, go easy on your mama, you have lots of years left to kick her ass -take your time!

  37. BOSSY

    The baby has your profile!

  38. Heather

    Hooray for proof!

    I had an OB appointment today too. Our munchkin was waving at us…

    Such fun to see the little person inside.

  39. Mrs. Chicky

    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.

  40. Julie Pippert

    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)

  41. Phoenix

    I kinda like that, Super Sprout. It has a nice ring too it. Super Sprout is gorgeous.

  42. Mac and Cheese

    Great posture too!

  43. Kelly

    How I love the grainy beauty of an ultrasound picture. Looks as though the sprout is giving a big thumbs up.

  44. Her Bad Mother

    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?

  45. Anonymous

    looks like a peanuts cartoon character

  46. painted maypole

    “super sprout” love it.

    congrats again

  47. kgirl

    awesome! it certainly helps to see, dunnit? and sprout is a great handle.

  48. JaniceNW

    Great reminder you’re not just puking pointlessly. Love the US picture!!!

  49. nomotherearth

    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.

  50. Jenifer

    Congratulations…it is always wonderful to see a brand new baby.

  51. Kyla

    Super Sprout. I love it.

  52. dana

    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!

  53. Mary

    I’m weepy and a first-time reader! What a perfect, perfect picture.

  54. Pgoodness

    Hi Super Sprout!! Nice to see you – now be nice to your mama!!

  55. crazymumma

    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.

  56. Kate

    Darling!

  57. Staci Schoff

    Isn’t it incredible — life is so good! (it’ll be even better when the vomiting stops, I understand)

  58. Jozet at Halushki

    Amazing…simply sublime…

    Hello there, Little One!

  59. Heather B.

    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!

  60. MamaMichelsBabies

    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!

  61. jona

    Beautiful!! Look at that spine, amazing.

  62. Jessica

    That is amazing. What a wonderful shot.

  63. Grim Reality Girl

    Congrats!!! I’m so happy for you! Hope you feel AWESOME for the duration!

  64. crunchycarpets

    Heeee…so cute!!!

    Mine just looked like an upsets alien!

    Yeah…mine is beating the crap outta my uterus these days.

  65. Karen MEG

    Wow, u/s pix never cease to amaze me. Excellent first baby pictures – congrats!

  66. Stimey

    Amazing picture. Your baby has a spine! Yay!

  67. mrs. mustard

    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!

  68. Ruth Dynamite

    Sprout is beautiful!

  69. Laura McIntyre
