Our First Ultrasound!!!

8 Weeks 5 days


The official due date from the ultrasound was January 17th!!

I think this one is the best because you can almost see its face... At least I think it looks like a face anyway.

It was so amazing to see the little baby on the screen. We saw it almost immediately and I could tell it was a baby right away. We both had so much fun looking at all of the different views and asking questions.

The lady doing the ultrasound was so nice. She was patient with us asking lots of questions. I couldn't believe how interested Tom got asking questions and leaning in close to see. She also showed us views that we could see its little arms and legs even though they are just little stubbies right now. We also got to see the heart beating which was absolutely amazing!!!! They couldn't give us the sound, she explained why but it didn't make much sense to me but you could definately see it. It was beating at about 170 beats per minute which she said was just right. I already can't wait until the next one. We are not sure if we are going to have one at our next visit or not, it would be to rule out down's and it is optional but I think I might have the testing just to get another ultrasound... We shall see. Our next doctor's visit in July 15th.
