Yesterday was the first ultrasound of baby Mysse. Louie and my mom went with me. I wasn’t expecting to see much, and had warned Louie of that. They had told me that they would have to do an internal ultrasound because the kid is too small to see through the “stomach” way. When we got called back, the ultrasound lady was short, old, and frumpy, but she loved her job and had been doing it for 40 years. She says in the Cd’A area that she has 20,000 babies running around. Crazy. Anyways…there was no prep, the ultrasound was right away. The lady did the “stomach” method first and immediately you could see the little guy. It was amazing and shocked all of us how clearly you could see “it”. The baby waved to us, kicked it’s feet, arched it’s back, was very active. We could see the heart beating and thank god there was only one! We were all shocked and how much you can see, and how much it looks like a baby at 11 weeks 2 days. You can’t tell much at this ultrasound except the age of the baby, which is why I did the ultrasound in the first place. Like I said, I am 11 weeks, 3 days pregnant. The kid measured 47mm, with a heartbeat of 167. We heard the heartbeat for maybe 5 seconds is all. I have a due date of around Feb. 19th…so a week earlier than Brent and Danielle. I had originally thought I was a week later. To sum it up, it was a very cool and amazing experience to watch the screen and see the little baby moving around so much. It definitely made it seem a lot more real and I am 100 times more excited now.
I have another appt in 4 weeks, just a routine checkup. Should know the sex of the baby at the end of Sept.
