it is a...
(girl)
sparky has no turtle. but peep that hamburger bun.
i honestly don't know how to describe the magnitude of getting to see sparky kicking and punching and sucking her thumb and fingers on a big flat screen tv in front of me. i just lay there with my belly exposed and took it all in: there is her cerebellum. all four chambers of her heart, which is pulsing steadily at 148 beats per minute. her ribs. her kidneys. toes and fingers. humerus. femur. that's my daughter in there. all eight ounces of her. she is perfect and alive and she kicked hard at my belly button for the rest of the afternoon.
amen.

AAHHHHHHH!!!!!! How incredibly exciting! I'm getting weepy. Of course I'd have felt the same way if she were a boy. This is so amazing. Can we still call her Sparky? So much love to you.
P.S. You're looking really hot in your pregnancy photos!!! Whooo whoo!
lisa, you can call her whatever you like!
and thanks for the hot comment! it's the first time i'm actually enjoying this belly o mine.
