Not only do we need a good reason to get rid of the random Asian picture representing Wisconsin on our last blog (we're not exactly sure how it got there), but we also wanted to share with you the very first pictures of our little bundle!
I know it doesn't look like much now and if you look closely, we're not sure if he more closely resembles a sock monkey or a clown, but we're just happy to know that there's something in there with a strong heartbeat and the stubbornness of his father. He didn't cooperate with the ultrasound tech too well. She was trying to position him to get a good measurement of the back of his head to do a Down Syndrome test. He was very active though. We got to see him rub his eyes. He got the hiccups and I'm convinced he was waving at us at one point. After about 30-45 minutes, the tech decided to try another method, which provided the perfect picture they were looking for...
Doesn't look like much of anything to use, but I suppose it provided them with what they needed. I keep referring to the baby as "he," but I'm using it as a general term. We did, however, see something protruding from between his legs, but it's still too early to tell!
Our next appointment is Nov. 3 and we won't be able to find out the baby's gender for another nine weeks. Don't worry, we'll post as soon as we know!
Hope you're all doing well!
