Today was our first prenatal visit. Our doctor is absolutely perfect for us: he's sarcastic, has a lot of dry humor, and asked Cole if people from North Dakota have any teeth. My kind of doctor. :) Definitely the type I feel most comfortable around - it's nice to know that we can crack jokes while he's all up in my girlie parts, although that might make his job a little more difficult considering I love to laugh.
Seeing a baby on the ultrasound screen for the first time is... amazing, and still unreal. We could see the tiny heartbeat pitter-patter within the babies chest. The doctor said the baby looks perfect, and estimated her age is a little over 8 weeks. I think the ultrasound says 8 weeks & 2 days. "Crown to Rump" or the CRL is 17!
Cole made sure to exclaim "It's a boy!" - which is what I'm going to be hearing until our due date. I asked him why he's so sure its a boy, to which he answered matter-of-factly "Look at those big forearms!" and shook his head at me like I should have been seeing this as well. "It's a girl!" I said back. "Look at that pink tutu & her tiny dancer body." Apparently, we aren't seeing eye to eye. :) But the important part is that we ARE seeing and DID see a beautiful baby on the ultrasound... living inside my belly, until about April 8th or so. :)
Life is good. <3
