My early screening and FIRST ULTRASOUND!

THIS WAS SUCH A FUN APPOINTMENT!

So the hubs and I went together to the doc this time around (I was just under 13 weeks) and it was nice to have a little moral support there. Something about doctor's offices always make me a little nervous, never have figured out why!

After being weighed I was told I could not used the little girl's room even though a preggo woman's best friend is often the toilet. Apparently a full bladder is a good thing for the ultrasound. If the little one didn't move right away, she'd let me go to see if we could get little Faid to move.

No problems with the moving. A very wiggly little sucker as it turns out.

I have to say, my breath caught when I saw the image on the screen. Our little one already looks like a little person in there. The nurse said, "That's your baby" and I almost chuckled. I mean, thank goodness, right? What else could it be? She also typed the word "baby" on the ultrasound pics we got at the end. I just love it...good thing she didn't type "squirrel" or "rat". Just kidding, I just think it's funny because it's so obvious.

The hubs seemed pretty enthralled by seeing our baby too. She also let us hear the heartbeat again-down a little bit from last time but still very normal! It was the first time he heard it and he smiled at me when I looked over. Proud pappa to be.

I just love hearing that sound. It makes me want to cry.

After that we saw baby in 3D (yep, its not just in the theaters, folks) and we saw the little arms and legs. Then the nurse asked us if we were going to find out the sex of the baby. After telling her there was no way the two of us could stand to wait she asked, "Do you want me to guess?".

So we let her guess because, like I said, we can't wait to find out.

She guessed a girl!

She told us not to buy anything until we get our next ultrasound because she could be wrong...but it doesn't stop a future mamma from looking at some little girl stuff here and there. Just looking can't hurt right?!

We can't wait to find out the definite answer and will of course be thrilled with either! Stay tuned...
