Yesterday we had our first ultrasound. It is hard to describe how much we were both in awe of the images we saw. From the first time the baby’s face was captured on screen to seeing it kick it’s feet up and move it’s arms. At one point I sneezed and I think the baby did a somersalt. How amazing to finally see the little miracle that is growing within! And it already looks like a beautiful baby! Too early to know the sex though, another 6 weeks or so and we should know!
Here are a few of the images (head to the left side of the image, feet to the right side) the wonderful ultrasound technician gave us, she was great, constantly saying “oh, how cute!” But she probably says that with them all, huh? But we’ll pretend ours was extra cute!
Below is my favorite image, if you look close you can see little hands by the face and the legs are crossed with a little foot showing! The second image is one of the feet kicking and you can see the little toes! I say soccer player, Eric says hiker…


Below is Eric’s favorite image. We could see the baby opening and closing his/her mouth and the ultrasound tech was able to capture mouth wide open! Eric said the baby was laughing at all the poking and prodding going on. Or maybe we’ll have a singer!!!

Ohhhh, the cuteness!!! I can’t get over this shot of the open mouth! He totally looks like he’s laughing. WHILE singing, of course–definitely gonna be a singer, yup. š
