Our first Ultrasound

Yesterday December 11th was our first ultrasound. We went in not knowing what to expect being first time parents, but we left full of joy. This was probably one of the happiest moments since our wedding! I had no idea how far a long I was. Being someone with irregular menstrual cycle it wasn't uncommon for me to go a few months (by few I mean 3-6) without one. This being so, my last one was about July or August, but I knew I hadn't been pregnant that long. During the ultrasound they did one from the inside and on top of my stomach. It's honestly amazing how technology can allow you to see inside there. Seeing the baby on the screen honestly helped it sink in a little more and I was beginning to feel the real experience of a pregnancy.

The baby was jumping around a lot and the tech kept saying "what a little jumping bean". It made my heart melt a little inside. All I could think about was how amazing it is to have this kind of experience. It's something so many people want in life and not something every gets the pleasure of experiencing. We also got to hear the baby's heartbeat. What a precious moment Scott and I got to experience together.

Although we may have not been planning on this right now in our lives. This is probably the best gift Scott could have ever given me and I could have ever given him.

The ultrasound tech did some measurements on the baby and came up with a due date of June 7th. I probably looked at her with 15 heads because I was expecting her to say like July 15th. I thought I was somewhere between 7-9 weeks, but nope I am 14 weeks! I keep telling myself God always has a plan. I forget that a lot and I know he laughs at me when I think I have everything under control and planned out.

The tech printed out our pictures for us to take home. As we pulled into the driveway Scott said "If there is anything we have done in life that has be refrigerator worthy, this is defiantly it"
