Our First Ultrasound!

This past Friday we had our very first ultrasound! It was so exciting, nerve racking, and scary all at the same time. I was so worried that maybe we wouldn't see anything and this would all be a dream. I was excited to see the little life that was growing inside of me. Will it be moving? Will it be facing forward? Will we hear a healthy heartbeat?

While our nurse practitioner, Joan, was doing her thing showing us our little one, I swear it waved at us! Okay, so maybe it didn't know we were looking at it and it happened to move it's arm, BUT it looked like it was waving. ;-) So I say it waved at us. Ha ha! It was trippy to watch the screen and actually see it's heart beating. I still can't feel any kicks yet since it's still early so it was surreal.

It also reminded me why I want to get into being an ultrasound tech myself. To show someone else something so cool and wonderful... how amazing would that be!

I was also approved for the WIC program today which will be a great help! It's a program that helps supplement your diet with healthy foods for mom and your children. I've never been the best at shopping for healthy foods so this is a great way to get into some good habits.

This Wednesday, I go to Fremont for my neucel translucency (sp?) testing. Apparently they have to do it before I hit 14 weeks and however many days so they have to rush me in to get it done in time. Another small blessing for not working so I can do this round of testing. Basically this is where they test for Down's Syndrome, T13, etc. Fingers crossed all is well!

Here's the ultrasound pics! :-)
