My hunch was right!
Josh, Anistyn, and I were so excited to be able to find out!
I loved the place we went to. I layed on a super comfy little bed with a computer screen next to me that the tech and I watched. Meanwhile, there was a HUGE projection screen in the center of the room that had the ultrasound splashed on it. You know, the kind we used to use in school to watch slideshows and such? SUCH a great idea!
The little one was fast asleep when we first got a peek at her. I was actually a tiny bit worried at first when I didn't see her moving at all..but we heard her heartbeat and the tech just assured me that she was doing what babies do best...sleeping! We had to start bugging her a bit, and then she actually turned her back to us! It was so funny to see her putting on a little show. She did a headstand also, which I could completely feel. It took awhile, but the tech was so patient and actually laughing right along with us at her. It was great to have someone that really enjoyed their job...whats better than watching little miracles everyday??
She finally decided to show us the goods...and it was definitely a little girl in there! The ultrasound was only supposed to last about 10 minutes...but we were in there for around 30 minutes! She also let us take a look at her in 3D...which I wasn't expecting,but it was such a great surprise! It was just amazing getting to catch that much of a glimpse of what she does. We got to see her drinking amniotic fluid, which I didn't know they did. The tech answered all my questions too...she told me about the different changes the baby will make and really took a lot of time to teach us about the miracle going on in my belly. This place was amazing and I'm so glad I found it!
When we got home, we looked at her video and pictures again. They gave us a dvd and I thought it had the pictures on it...but its actually a video. So I had to take pictures OF the pictures with my camera. So, I apologize for the bit of flash that might be in the pictures...I did my best!
Here she is stretching out her little legs!
She looks a little cramped here! Mommy isn't providing much space...but i'm loving her headstand!
Thats a girl!
The 3D picture...isn't it amazing? Look at that tiny lttle body! The tech said she's the size of my hand right now. She'll definitely need some fattening up!
This was one of my favorites...waving to the camera! Look at that tiny hand!
Tonight, Josh and I listened to songs on youtube about daddies and daughters...I just can't wait to see their relationship begin. He's already so great with Anistyn. We were joking around about adding one more girl to the house and he said "Well...it takes real men to put up with a lot of women!" Very true.
Meanwhile, I am definitely feeling a ton of movement from the little one! It started about a week ago and I just love feeling her moving around in there! They aren't full on kicks or anything, but I can definitely feel when she moves her body around.
Now I'll be updating soon with a name!
Congrats!!!!! Girls are great!
