MORE Sesame

Our little Sesame is halfway here! I suppose that means mom and dad should start to think a little more about his/her arrival in logistical terms, and not just in the "we can't wait to meet you!" terms, but that's another story.

He/she is now the size of a banana. Though I love all food-relative measurements, I think this is my favorite. The 20 week mark also, of course, means that we got to have the "big" ultrasound, complete with up-close-and-personal views of this little one.

This time around (we're not sure why, but afraid it's related to my "AMA" - or "advanced maternal age"), we got to go to a fancy radiology place for the U/S, where I got to kick back and watch the action on a flat-screen TV, hotel-style.

Our baby in 3-D!!

Don't you think he/she looks like Sean?

And we really can't wait to meet you Sesame.

I promise we'll be ready. Or at least as ready as we can be.

Introducing...

... for the first time....

Sesame* Connors!

Yep - Caroline is going to be a big sister when we add a co-star to Team Connors in October. The above picture was taken at approximately 13.5 weeks (just like his/her big sis, being uncooperative for heartbeat measuring leads to lots of photos).

We are very excited, and can't wait to meet our little Sesame seed!


*not to worry, "Sesame" is not the name we have chosen for this little one's forever name. It's a longish story, which might be shared in a later post (or if curiosity gets the better of you, let us know and we can fill you in).
