Like Father like Son

Little Isaac, waving hello to the world out there!

Yesterday we got the pleasure of seeing out little guy Isaac again! For those reading this that we may not have told yet, or that didn't see my last post we have a name for our Little Toasty Bun...Isaac Edward Keli'i Tostado. It was not only amazing to see him again but to see how much he has grown in this short month since we saw him last. I can definitely say that I am growing a our little miracle inside of me :) At Kaiser the tech first takes Mommy back to take all the many measurements by herself, and then they call Daddy back to come and see the final show. I wished Eddie could have been back there with me the entire time but I guess we have to follow protocol. The measurements that were suppose to take about 25-30mins took much longer...roughly about 45-60mins! The measurements that she needed to get Isaac was in the wrong  position. He was looking towards my back so she got plenty of spinal shots, and boottie shots. The tech kept saying, "you have one stubborn little baby in there". She tried all the tricks in the book, I got up to go pee twice, laid on my right side, then my left side but he would not flip at all. Her final resort  to try and get him to flip and change positions was to nudging him with the ultrasound thingy...well let's just say he was not a fan of that at all.
The tech exclaimed, "did you feel that!?"
I replied, "that big kick? Yes I totally felt that!"
Then she said, "He just kicked at my hand, I just saw it on the monitor."
I  then told her, "well he's being stubborn and "bronco kicking" like his Daddy "

She was finally able to get the shots that she needed, although Isaac kept putting up his arm and casting a shadow over his heart. The tech hoped that I wouldn't have to come back because they were a bit blurred. So, she finally went to go get Eddie so we could share in the time of seeing our little man together. As I had thought Eddie was very much relieved as he was thinking something was wrong because of how long I was back there. The tech shared with Eddie about "stubborn baby"
he laughed and said, " he gets it from me". (nice that he can admit that! LOL).
The tech replied, "that is what I hear"
Eddie said, "IIIssssaaaac" with a smile.
And what did our little guy do....he flipped positions and showed his heart for the perfect heart shots! The tech was elated.
She snapped the necessary pics and laughed saying, "do you know how long we have been trying to get these pics!"

We all were amazed, he heard Eddie's voice and turned right towards him. Also because he had kept showing his back and little buns she was not able to see his "man hood", but because he has flipped he showed his package when Daddy was in the room. Isaac then put on a little show rolling, waving, and as the tech put it he was being "off the hook". It is just so profound to see how Isaac already has his own little personality.
The tech asked me, "do you have to go to the bathroom early in the morning all the time?
I said, "yes..." Just knowing that it is common for prego women to go often.
She then replied," well you want to see why...there is your bladder and there is his feet."
It was almost like he was doing a little tap dance right on my bladder! I have been telling Eddie for the past week that Isaac has been waking me up in the morning when he is awake and moving...well after seeing that we now know that its confirmed Isaac is messing with me (LOL). I wished we could have gotten more pictures but since Issac was being stubborn and I went to the bathroom twice during the exam to empty my bladder the pictures did not come out so clear. But, I am just glad that we got the pictures that the Dr's need to look at his anatomy and make sure all is good to go.

This week marks the half way point for mommy and Isaac's pregnancy journey. Woo hoo!! In some ways it does seem like time is starting to pick up and before I know it he'll be here. Yet, on the other hand it still seems like each week is taking forever....I am just taking it day by day and enjoying this special time. I can feel him moving in there more and I like to talk to him all the time. It is is an amazing boding experience that I will never forget. I know that I have years and years ahead of me with all kinds of different experiences at different stages of life with my son and I can't wait for what lies ahead. I just always say to him everyday, "Mommy loves you Isaac and I can't wait to see you to give your little face lots and lots of kisses!"

He's growing...20 Weeks
