Our Ultrasound...1/9/08

After much anticipation, we finally got to have our ultrasound. If you've looked on here before this post, you probably already know the most important thing that we found out...

IT'S A BOY!!!

Although we couldn't tell what we were looking at most of the time, the lady doing the ultrasound was very good at pointing out what we were seeing. At one point in time, she even suggested twins (I think both of our hearts stopped for a second) but then realized that the baby had just turned around really quickly. Other highlights include when we could see the baby rub his eyes and then move his fingers like he was waving (this is what was happening in the 4th picture below).

They measured the length of the baby's arms and legs and everything else and everything was measuring out that we were about 19.5 weeks along, not 21.5 weeks like we thought. After a quick review of some important dates, we found out that 19.5 weeks is actually much closer to being accurate and our new due date is now MAY 31, 2008.

Since our due date changed so much, we are going to have a second ultrasound on March 11th to make sure that the baby is developing properly. Hopefully we'll have some clearer pictures to show everyone at that time and we also are going to be able to bring in a videotape (apparently they haven't updated to the 21st century and gone DVD compatible) to record the ultrasound too.
