Monday morning, Rick and I went for baby's first ultrasound. I wasn't sure what to expect...I didn't think we'd be able to see very much....but I was so wrong!
I can't describe what it felt like when I first saw our baby...I imagined I would get all teary-eyed but really, I was just in awe. I had a feeling of "WHOA, this is really happening." I just laid there and watched the entire thing unfold and it was pretty amazing.
The ultrasound tech said everything looked great -- baby had a heart rate of 150, which was very good. The August 17th due date still looks right -- the estimates on the ultrasound ranged everywhere from the 12th to the 19th, so until my doctor decides to revise it, we'll consider it the 17th for now.
Rick was very glad he'd been able to come -- and afterwards, we went to Denny's to celebrate. :) (Rick wants you to know...he let me choose the restaurant)
Also -- we have been starting to kick around general ideas for what we want the nursery to look like. I think we have most definitely settled on a Winnie the Pooh theme -- so far, we very much like the classic green look.
I'm sooooo excited guys!! That first ultrasound had to be AMAZING!!!! Horray for the little one, and can't wait for all the excitement to come :) Congrats again....Love to and for both of you!
