1st Official Ultrasound

On Monday, May 21st, we had our first official ultrasound and another office visit with Dr. Martin. The ultrasound was really quick, and we were in and out before we know it, but here are some pictures. Heart rate was 164 the first time she did it, and 170 the 2nd time. She said that we were 4 days behind where we thought we were based on baby's measurements, but Dr. Martin said he wasn't going to change our due date. (Possibly because I strongly encouraged him not to...for the kid's sake we do not want a Christmas Eve or Day baby.) :) I did have my first pregnant-woman supersensitivity moment when I got to thinking about baby measuring 4 days later than he should be, because he was right on track 2 weeks ago when we measured. It was fleeting, but I did worry about that a little since all babies should be all about the same size at this point. Dan has since been calling it "shrimp" and reminding me to eat, because he doesn't want to have to defend it it's entire life. HAHA!

I need to make these more visually appealling and straighter, but we are trying to do lots of things at on our house so this is as good as it is going to be for now.

Not sure what date he is going by, but I am assuming it is either December 19th or 21st. Even with how fast she did the ultrasound, we did get to see the little one move a little bit. That was pretty cool! It is amazing to see how much he (still calling it a "he" because that's what we both think baby is) has changed within the last 2 weeks since we had the first peek.

Back soon for pictures of the nursery that we just got done painting!
