First Ultrasound

Today we saw the baby for the first time!  


When we went to the doctor I was told to come with a 1/2 bladder.  As I sat down in the chair with Adam holding my hand I was very nervous.  Since my only real symptoms of pregnancy were huge boobs and cry baby I kept second guessing myself if I were even pregnant.  I laid there in anticipation as she put the little wand on my belly.  Nothing was there.  I got nervous and asked her if I was supposed to see something and she said well why don't you empty your bladder and come back.  In the bathroom I was sweating.  I was starting to think I either had a miscarriage or was faking the whole thing.  When I came back she took a different approach...up the vag.  The ultrasound technician explained to me that I had an tilted uterus, which 1 out of every 2 people had.  I really could have cared less though as my eyes were scanning the screen to make sure something was there.  Finally, after what seemed like hours, we finally saw our little baby.


It was so exciting and amazing.  He/She looked like a little gummy bear and was so adorable.  The little bear was moving around like crazy and fist pumping and dancing all over the place.  Adam teared up a little and was excited to see something finally in there!  It was definitely a nice reassurance to make sure the baby was still in there.  They took lots of measurements and we got to watch it dance a little more before it was over.  The doctor provided my official due date which is 4/7/2011.
