First ultrasound!

Okay, first appointment with my peri-natal specialist, BUT I got my first ultrasound then.

To be honest, I was upset, and cheered. I knew Kelley would have wanted to be there if we'd known that they would be doing the first ultrasound, which was a bummer, at the same time, this would promise that there was indeed a baby in there.

There *IS* a baby in there! My understanding, from what the ultrasound tech told me, is that the baby is inside the grey-white blob, that is inside the black blob. From what I remember looking at, and being told, the very bright white dot, inside the grey blob is the heart - or at least that was what was beating when the tech said "that's the heartbeat".

I have to say that having it confirmed that there was indeed a baby in there, was great. Up until this point I kept waiting for the big bomb that I really wasn't pregnant. I really wasn't pregnant, or they'd get in there and there would be something wrong, something like that. Seeing the baby, THERE, with a beating heart beat, THERE, was awesome. I had tears in my eyes, and couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. The only thing that would have been better would have been having Kelley there for it.
