Another Ultrasound...

Last night we got to see another ultrasound of the baby. Scott was working in the ER last night and he called and said it was slow, so we could have one of the Dr.s do an ultrasound. It was so neat. Last time we were able to do one the baby looked like a little bean. This time there was a real looking baby in there. You could see its head, hands, belly... it was amazing. The poor baby had hiccups though, I know this sounds mean but it was really cute. We even saw the baby suck it's thumb. Oh, it makes it all so real! The Dr. that did the ultrasound told us even what sex he thought the baby might be. He wasn't really that sure... it is still a little early to see. But in a few weeks when we have our ultrasound with the OB-GYN we will be able to have a more positive answer. Anyway, just an update. Tried to load the pictures of the ultrasound on, but I couldn't get it to work. Scott said that he will try to help me... So, maybe next post. :)

Hearing a heartbeat for the first time!

Right before Christmas we had another appointment for the baby. It was awesome!!! Scott came with me this time; it was the first appointment that he had been able to go to with me. It was amazing. We got to hear the baby’s heart beat… which brought tears to both our eyes. It makes it all a little more real. Baby is definitely growing; I am not able to really wear any of my pre-pregnancy clothes…welcome to Maternity Clothes!!! The baby is now about the size of a soft ball.

We’ve been so excited to get some things together for the baby, so this past weekend we bought the baby a stroller/car seat (it’s cheaper as a set). It was fun to actually have something for the baby. Scott was saying to me that he couldn’t believe that we are really having a baby… It definitely feels like it now! In a few weeks (around Valentine’s Day) we get to find out what we are having, so we’re pretty excited about that!!!
