It's a Baby!!!

My little blob from the previous ultrasounds now actually looks like a baby! It seems much more real now! I was able to get a FREE ultrasound yesterday. The Pregnancy Care Centers in Raleigh, NC are training ultrasound techs and so I was a "model" (as the paper I signed said). Fine by me, I got pictures of my baby! AND, here they are! I was 12 Weeks 5 Days when these shots were taken. My first OB appointment is next Wednesday at 2:30. YAY!

Update: I forgot to give you all a few details about the ultrasound. We got to see the baby move his/her arms around and jumping in reaction to the techs moving the intruments. It was so neat! We got to see his/her arms, legs, fingers, toes, stomach, heart, brain, nose, mouth etc... I just can't tell you how AMAZING it truly was! After all these many, many months, I just can't believe that I am actually pregnant and we are having a baby! Thanks be to God for His perfect will for our lives and this baby's. We are so thankful he has chosen us to be the parents of this precious gift!

I think so! that was one of the first things I said too. "Look at my little Alien". I guess David is an alien. ;) It's so funny!

The angle we got of the baby is a different one than most people get too. Most of them get a side view. Our baby was turned differently than they usually are at this age.

You know what I am doing now.Don't you? I can't wait to meet him/her. I really think it is a her. Of course, that isn't a guess based on anything scientific. I just keep wanting to call her a her. That may also just be habit :o)

So, so , SO happy for you!
