Wanna see our kid?

I had an ultrasound today! The last one at my RE's office and it was soooo great! My mom went with me this time, well, my mom & my dad. I wasn't planning on my dad going but they had to go to my brother's house in Tempe so he was there and he came back when they called my name and I'm like "uhhh, nooooo! sorry" I felt bad but having my dad in the room during an internal ultrasound would be embarrassing!

So the nurse got started and we could see the baby squirming all around! We could see arms and legs moving up and down and all over. It was so awesome! I never imagined we'd see it move this much this early. Baby measured good and heartbeat was 169bpm. I wish I knew what it was so I could call it "him" or "her" instead of "it". My mom's like "Can't we cover you up and bring dad in?" So I'm like "Fine" I had a sheet covering everything up and the lights were dim. My dad came in and saw his first ultrasound, they didn't have ultrasounds when my parents had me and my 3 sibs. The nurse thought my mom was my sister, lol.

I feel bad Doug missed this one, this was the best one so far. Since my RE's office is all the way in Chandler it would be time he'd have to take off of work. I called him right after though and told him "It was moving! You could see it's little arms & legs!"


You can make out the head, body, arms and legs. In the ultrasound we could see the eye sockets, freaky huh?


Upon seeing the picture Doug said the kid has a big head like me. :-)
