Well, we got to see our sweet little baby yesterday and it was wonderful! It's hard to believe we won't see it again until May!! That's a long time to wait! We did find out the sex but I am not posting it on here until after next week. I am going home to see my family on Christmas Day and since I haven't been able to share anything regarding the baby with them in person, I really want to share this news when I get there.
The ultrasound went great though. The doctor spent a lot of time looking at the heart and the spine and the head and everything looked perfect! It's exactly where it should be as far as size goes and she said all of the organs and everything looked great. It was amazing to see the four chambers of the heart - ultrasounds really are a marvel. I couldn't believe she was able to look through my stomach to the baby and then through the baby to its heart and brain - modern science is truly wonderful. We are very very excited to be parents and can't wait until May!!
Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. The first one is of the arm and hand (we could see all five fingers by the way!) and the last three are profile shots. I'll be posting belly shots soon and I'll post the sex after next week. Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family - we miss you!!
