Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound on Wednesday and it was incredible! Of course, the baby wasn't big enough to see much, but just seeing that little peanut (that's what the doctor called it) sure made everything feel real. Up to now it hasn't really felt real. I guess that's why we hadn't really wanted to tell anyone. It just felt like we were saying, "Hey, we're having a baby!" yet it hadn't really sunk in to us at all. They gave us two pictures and a video. I think I've looked at those pictures a million times already. Again, it just helps it to feel real. Ashley says the pictures are not good at all and that I need to go to Summit and let her scan me and get some good ones. But, to me they are wonderful! We have our next visit on April 8. We'll just be meeting with the doctor's assistant to answer a bunch of questions about family history and for her to tell us all the do's and don'ts of pregnancy. I feel like I already know a lot just from family, friends, and my week-by-week book. I'll also get my blood drawn again (this will make four times) to make sure my HCG level is rising as it should. Hopefully all will still be well. I feel very positive about everything and so does JoeDan. That has to count for something!!! Continue to pray!
