An earlier peek
This post’s purpose is two-fold: first, I accidentally reset to private the LiveJournal post where I announced the impending arrival of our daughter, Taran Jack Manley. So for those who missed it, here it is. Secondly, I wanna share the first snapshot we got of her, all of eight weeks:
I’m so ridiculously pleased we have a shot of Taran’s yolk sac.
She was only 18mm then, about the size of a pinto bean (she’s about 7 inches now, crown to rump) This shot is from my first OB/Gyn appointment of this event; I started giggling in hysterical denial. Even with watching the beating of the heart. (That hot white area in the baby area? Right above the measurement dot that aligns with the top of the word “baby”? That’s the heart.)
I mean, I spent all of my life up to this point not pregnant. Heck, I still don’t quite believe it, despite my rapidly expanding bump and the taps from within the womb. Kip and I figure I might begin to accept it once my water breaks.

The yolk sac is evidence you can use to support the argument that she was once a fish.
Yes! Or a lizard!
Or a newt ! (between the fish and the lizard)
Or that she’s going to be a bird.
Dinosaur.
