Our First Ultrasound

We went to our first ultrasound today. It was at Holy Redeemer Hospital which is where we will be having the baby. The appointment was at 12:15. We were brought back into the room by 12:30. I was pretty happy with how quickly and smoothly everything went.

The technician brought us into the room and asked me to lay down on the table. She set everything up. I felt like I was laying there forever but I am sure it was only about five minutes before she finally showed me the baby. I was so surprised! It looked like an actual baby! I thought it was just going to be a little blob but there was actually a baby. A baby that was moving all around. I saw the heartbeat, but we didn't hear it yet. Hopefully at my next doctor appointment we will.

The technician told us the heart rate was 167. She said anywhere between 120 or 140 (I can't remember which) and 180 is good. She also said that I was 9 weeks and 6 days pregnant. She gave me a due date of March 6. Dr. Devlin originally told me March 1 so just a little different which is fine.

Here is our baby's first picture!
