My first ULTRA SOUND

Technology is pretty awesome! I was only six weeks along when I went in for my first ultra sound and we could actually see the heart beat! It was the most surreal thing ever. Seeing that there is another life inside of your own body is just crazy. It was a beautiful and special experience. I really wish that Chris could have been there, and he does too, but he is working hard to do well in school and take care of our little family. He will be able to come to the later ones and honestly those will be cooler because there will be more to look at.

In this picture our baby is a grain of rice and is attached to the white circle inside the black one. The white circle is the yoke sac and eventually is disappears. So, you can't really see Baby yet, but I could see the heart beating. It was so cool! It was still too quiet to hear it, though and so I go back in a couple of weeks and I'm really excited because Baby will look more like a baby!

So, kinda totally embarrassing, but I'm holding the picture upside down. I was so excited that is just how it ended up. Anyways... It was a pretty awesome experience.
