March 26, 2008 - Hot Lips Yamokoski

Great news-we had our sonogram yesterday and here are the vital stats:
  • There is only 1 Baby Yamo (no twins, the doctor previously said there was only 1 but until the ultrasound, I wasn't convinced)
  • Baby Yamo is a healthy 9oz
  • And for the big news.....Baby Yamo is a SHE (I decided to find out in the heat of the moment and yes, I am as surprised as most of you..I really thought it was a boy!)
It was pretty cool seeing her (so weird typing her and not referring to the baby as it) sleeping and moving around. I had a hearty bowl of bran flakes before the appointment so she wasn't too active, but she woke up at the end and starting kicking her little feet. She even did a few mini-punches with her hands! She is a little swimmer already (J.D and I couldn't be more thrilled!). We have a DVD of the sonogram so if anyone is interested in seeing it, let us know.

As for J.D, he is already a proud daddy and is totally in love with her. He was mesmerized at the appointment and wanted to watch her all day. She doesn't know how lucky she is, she will have the best dad ever. She also has an amazing extended family. We haven't told everyone yet about the sex, but she is already well loved:
*Great Uncle Brian & Craig are planning to buy her a gray Welsh pony (for fun summers in Miami riding)
*Grandma's Yamo & Cook and Aunt Katherine are designing fun crafts
*Aunt Sarah will teach her how to apply makeup one day [and possibly baby Yamo can teach me :) since I never got the knack of it]
*Aunt Becky is planning fun summer camps in exotic foreign places
*Cousin Victoria and Baby Yamo will soon be having little tea parties!!

We also told the dogs yesterday that they have a new baby sister coming. I don't think they realize something is coming that will re-align their status in the house, but they will find out soon enough!

Oh-and as for the title of this entry, our little baby girl has fabulous lips (at least that is what the doctor and technician said yesterday-they both commented on how full and beautiful her lips were). Watch out Angelina!!

First of all, Congratulations on having an extra vagina. That's how I refered to it....you know me, I just put it out there. Baby girls are the best. You just think you wanted a boy....just wait. Emilia has softened me so much! Ok, now that you know there is only one, I am going to say this.....girl, I don't know why you would have thought there were two in there. You would be WAY bigger than what you are....or at least in the pictures you sent me. You wouldn't have hip bones. I say that in THE most loving way. Can I just say that by 20 weeks my nugget was already almost a lb. you have a little bitty chiclet in there. That's great that you got to find out though....we had to wait until 24 weeks. That sucked! She said that she thought it was a girl, but she kept her legs crossed the entire time. Anyway, I am happy for you guys....wee babes are the best.
