From Bean to Humanoid

So, I'm currently 11 weeks along and I had another ultrasound yesterday.  I mean, if you compare the last time we saw the baby to this time...it's ridiculous.  I mean, the last time we saw it, it was a little beany blob.  This time it's like a legit little human.  I swore I would never put ultrasound pictures online (still won't on FB), but I can't help myself.  Like, the baby looks like...an actual baby:

Straight up little baby

Hey, guys!

I can't believe this little being is literally inside of me right now.  And the second picture!  S/he's waving at us!  It's all just amazing and overwhelming and unbelievable.  During the ultrasound, the baby was even moving and jumping around like a little acrobat. I can't feel anything yet, but I guess I should get ready.  In about a month we'll be able to find out the gender.  We do not want to be surprised and we are NOT doing a gender reveal party.  I don't want to knock it for people who think it's cute.  There's nothing inherently wrong with the gender reveal thing, but I just can't.  To be honest, I think it's kind of silly.  I'm just not into the whole, boys are all blue and trucks and girls are all pink and frills.  It's just irritating.  Anyway, ahem, excuse me as I step off my soapbox...

Here's something I realize I really need to get a handle on before the little one comes along...my need for things to be done a certain way (my way).  When the little one arrives, what's going to matter is that things are done, not necessarily done the way I would have liked them to be done.  It would be a very big mistake to make my husband feel like he's not doing things "the right way" when it comes to caring for our child.  I'm going to have to super let that obsessive urge go.  

In a little over a week, I'll be officially past the first trimester and we'll finally make our grand announcement to the world!
