We got to see little Curious moving around, saw its little hands & feet, fingers & toes. It was lying on its back & would move its little hand to its mouth & suck on its thumb - so adorable! The baby was really moving around quite a bit...we decided that if there were a fourwheeler in there then it would be busy riding wheelies (& probably giving the "hang ten" sign just like Dad)!I made a Christmas card for the technician to write if it was a boy or a girl in but we ended up being so excited that we wanted to know right away what we were seeing. The idea was to wait until Christmas day to open the card as a surprise to ourselves - a sort of Christmas gift to us, if you will. But we just had to know! We decided that it is more fun to know what sex the baby is (especially when picking out baby things) & we are going to tell our family & friends what it is but we are making them wait until our original Christmas day date to give them the news. Can't let the card go to waste -you will all know very soon!
It was so funny because whenever the tech went to look to see whether it was a boy or a girl the baby would move its hand down there to cover up...guess its shy. So the tech would ask, "are you sure you want to know?"
The sonogram was amazing. It was so clear, clearer than the pictures look. The technician measured everything about the baby - head, chest, arms, legs, everything. They say that it looks like the baby weighs around 11 oz right now. The heartbeat was at 133 beats per minute. Apparently this is all good...they say that the original due date (May 8) seems to be right with the size of the little munchkin.
It's pretty hard to explain just how exciting having the sonogram was...to be able to actually see so much detail of our little baby. The tech looked at all the organs & made measurements of them...one of the most amazing parts was when she looked at the heart & you could see it pumping & you could see the chambers...wow. It just makes us even more excited about having the baby be here with us instead of in my belly! I can't wait to see that little face & hold that little person!
