Ultrasound...

The day finally arrived!! I woke up at 6:00 this morning having to pee and then couldn't go back to sleep because I was overcome with excitement.

Thankfully our appointment was fairly early at 10:00 AM and since we live an hour from the doctor it helped make the morning go by much faster. Of course the doctor was running 45 minutes behind but we had waited 8 weeks (5 really) so surely we could wait a few extra minutes. After being weighed and checked in we waited some more. The nurse told us that the doctor would come in, talk with us, go over any questions and then step out for me to get undressed to do the exam and ultrasound. Ok...no biggie. Well the doctor finally comes in and asks, "Why do you still have your clothes on?" After explaining to her what the nurse said, she said, "Oh geez...new help...I'll step out so you can get undressed...I'll be back". So again...we waited!!

She came back in and got right to it. Suddenly I was so nervous. I just prayed and prayed for good news. Then up on the screen popped the cutest lil' "baby boo" ever. The doctor quickly moved the 'wand' (aka vaginal ultrasound) to check to make sure there was just one baby and discovered a "mass". She said it could be blood behind the uterus but since I'm not having any bleeding or spotting it more then likely was a twin that didn't develop. WOW...was not expecting that.

Same picture as above just with descriptions to help know what your seeing.

After checking everything out and determining everything looked great, the doctor went back to focus on our amazing sweet baby. As she was measuring 'it', 'it' started wiggling and moving it's arm back and forth. It was breathtaking. Such a miracle!! Measuring right on track and with a strong heart beat of 160...in the words of Mary Poppins, "Perfect in every way"!!
