We reviewed medical history....I had an exam and then we got another ultrasound...the absolute BEST ONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!
So we saw the heartbeat right away....then our eyes were quickly taken by what finally appears to be a baby!!!
Oh, we saw a head with two parts of a big brain, two eyes, a nose and a mouth...however the picture doesn't show it as well as in person.
We saw arms...look at those long arms...looks like he or she is going through a roller coaster...weeee!!! And look at those beautiful fingers!!! Our baby was waving to us!
We saw legs....long legs (go figure with John being 6'4 and me 5'7).
But one of the even better parts of it was we SAW THE BABY MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh it was soooooooooooo cool....The baby was wiggling around and around....John and I were laughing...we were just so tickled by this! I think we have a gymnast on our hands (John claims a football player)!
Our doctor was wonderful...very nice, bubbly, informative...all around wonderful. She is one of seven doctors that will be at the hospital to deliver the baby....so that being said, each doctor appt. going forward I am going to try and meet each of the doctors...I don't necessarily want some strange girl or guy being a huge part of the best day of our lives without having met them at some point. That being said...I really hope that I like all of them!!!
Our doctor did inform us that the gender is 50% boy or 50% girl. Ahaha!!!!
We got a 'gift bag' full of goodies on behalf of Enfamil. So while I plan on breastfeeding...I would like to thank them for a gift! I got a mini-journal to keep track of doctor appts. and random daily things. :) And as an early 3rd trimester gift I got a travel bag complete with a free sample of Similac. So I guess I will keep in on hand just in case for some reason I am not able to breastfeed...as I've heard that formula is sooo expensive...any free sample will help. :)
It is so cool to have a few little baby things around the house.
Watching our baby move was just the absolute coolest thing to see to date. The pregnancy just got a little more real for me. I so wish they would allow us to take a video...I would love nothing more than to watch our baby move any time of the day I wish...until I can feel the baby...I will just have to daydream about it. :)

Great post.
Hey Paige!
Isn't it exciting to see your little one move for the very first time? I remember the first ultrasound Travis and I had was amazing! She was just kicking her legs as fast as she could! We couldn't believe it! I am so excited for you! Guess what...today Travis and I were surprised with our first 4-D ultrasound today! If you go to my blog you can see little Avalyn Claire Ansley's cute little face! I can't wait to find out whether you are having a boy or girl soon!
