We were so excited to see our little baby for the first time today. We've both seen ultrasound pictures of other people's babies, but we never realized how different it is seeing the ultrasound live. The baby kicked and moved almost constantly. We had no idea he/she was so active. Jacob kept asking, "Can you feel that?" each time the baby kicked. "No," I would laugh. All I could feel was the ultrasound monitor pressing lightly against my stomach. In this picture the baby has its arms up by its head. The fist and elbow appear to meld with the image of the head in the picture. Jacob and I kept joking that it looks like our baby has a huge schnozzle, but it is really the hand and elbow up against its face.
The technician told us the heartbeat is normal and our baby is about 3 inches long. We are thankful and happy for this joyful experience of getting to see a first glimpse of the baby coming to us this August.
