Early Pictures of the Newest Jancewicz

Aloha!

We went to our first sonogram last Thursday!
That place was the neatest doctor’s office I’ve ever seen. The waiting room was design like a spa; with hardwood floors, fancy aluminum track lighting, and exotic plush chairs.
We were led into a darkened room, and they lay Tamika out on the semi-reclined bed. There were a couple of screens on the wall, and a sleek hulking computer to the right of the bed.
The lady smeared some gel on Tamika’s tummy, and then pressed a device that looked like an overgrown remote control to it.
It made strange whooshing sounds as she searched around, and then finally, there it was.

Strange calling it an it. We’ve been struggling not to apply a gender to it, and it’s hard. Tamika likes to call it “Munchkin”. 🙂
It was the coolest thing in the world to see. I teared up a little, I must admit.
The doctor flew around the computer; quickly measuring this, zooming in on that, showing us the different features of our little baby. I was amazed at how deftly she managed the machine; she must feel how I feel when I’m in my element designing something in Illustrator.

And yes, there is just one. A few people thought there might be more, but there is just one. They’re only about 3 or 4 inches long at this point.
It was pretty active, and swam around, in and out of view. At one point, it spun slowly toward us, and crossed it’s arms. 😀

We don’t know the sex of it yet, but we will at the next sonogram visit.
