First Ultrasound Results

I'm so sorry it took so long. I haven't been feeling too well lately and I had every intention to blog immediately after my doctor's appointment but the baby had other plans that didn't include anything but ice chips and a bed. Either way...on to the Ultrasound. I left work that day with anticipations- of what, I don't know. Since this is my first baby and the first ultrasound, I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous and excited both at the same time. So finally I arrived to the doctor's office, my husband arrived shortly after and we waited until my name was called. That wait was only about 3 minutes but at the time it seemed way longer. We were escorted back and I was instructed to get into that dreaded position that most women detest. I am usually amongst those women but this time was different. I was so excited that the nurse didn't even have time to leave the room while I was undresssing. So, the journey began. I lay there as the nurse gives my husband and I a tour of my nesting place. I had tread these waters plenty of times before, but my husband sat in an upright position, giving the tour his undivided attention. Then the moment came. The most beautiful words I've ever heard were uttered, "and there's your baby!". I was blown away, though to some people it might appear to be a bean shaped blob, to me it was way more. I "oooed" and "awwwed" as if the baby was here cooing with me. She showed us the heart beat which was at 150 beats per minute, right on schedule. She also said the baby measured 7weeks 5 days and I am actually 7 weeks 1 day. I had a friend who joked that the baby was already taking after his/her tall parents. :)LOL This was an exciting day! I finally got to see the little bundle that had already changed my life a great deal and what a great relief it was to see and hear that everything was looking great.

Now introducing Mommy's Baby.
