Holls and I went for the first ultrasound yesterday. I though the heartbeat was cool! The tech had Holly in the room for about half an hour before I was allowed in. Once I joined them, I saw my baby for the first time! The little bugger wouldn't stop moving, and it was hard to get a good image, but I saw hands, feet, head, spine, and... something else! If you want to know the sex, you'll have to ask me or Holly. If you want to know the name, too bad -- we aren't telling!
The image above is the ultrasound on the left, and an "enhanced" version on the right for anyone who can't quite make it out.
It's pretty amazing seeing your child like this. I didn't think it would affect me all that much, but it sure has. It's hard to think about other things now, and I can't wait for The Birthday. This is now "The Coolest Experience of My Life."
