February 24th! What a special day!
Corinne's birthday, Amy's birthday, Chris's very last exam completing his apprenticeship and our ultrasound telling us whether we are having a girl or boy.
It's a girl!
What an amazing experience - having an ultrasound. I didn't realize how detailed the ultrasound would be! The first recognizable feature was the baby's spine. I remember thinking at that point, "Oh my goodness... that's a real baby!" The technician looked at everything, making sure all features were accounted for - even the liver. She measured everything, and I mean everything! She even measured parts of the brain to be sure that things were developing properly. I was utterly amazed at the detail that could be seen but what really struck me was watching the baby's movements! She was stretching, turning, flipping, moving her head (at one point she looked straight at us!) and waving! I nearly started crying when I saw those little fingers... nearly. Ok, maybe I cried...alot. These crazy hormones are making me break down at every slightly sentimental thing.
Stay tuned for more baby news!
Way to GO _ you just brought tears to my eyes. Wish I could have been there! So happy baby is doing so well!
ReplyDeleteGlad everything looks good with baby!! Do they tell you it's all good at the time? My doctor here specifically sent me to a certain place to have ours done because they tell you what they are looking at and what the findings are right on the spot. Loved that. Can't wait for more updates... like maybe belly pictures??? ;)
ReplyDeleteI should really update my blog too, one of these days... haha!
Yes, the technician was amazing. She was talking me through everything and explaining exactly what she was looking at and why. She said that everything (measurements, heart rate, development) is right spot-on as it should be. :)
DeleteJust waiting for the belly to get a "little" bigger. ;)
Congratulations! Such lovely news! Now that you know its a girl....time to start brainstorming names!!!! All the best! Kathy
