Anatomy scan at 21w+5d

Hi Alexander, Look your first dick pic!! I got it during my 20 week + 5 day level 2 ultrasound today. I couldn't help thinking that when I was looking at the pictures.  You, sir, were giving the ultrasound tech all sorts of trouble.

I'm so glad you'll be able to grow up with her in your life. She's an amazing woman. I hope I am as good of a mom as she's been.. I am moving a little slower these days and not everyone understands that. This picture was taken in Las Vegas... You're unofficial first vacation!
