Ultrasound Day!

     Today we got to see our baby again and hear the heartbeat this time!  It was beating at 163 beats per minute.  I am 11 weeks and 3 days today.  We went to a Perinatal Center that does genetic testing and they give you an  ultrasound where you can see your baby on a big plasma TV.  It was amazing!  We did this same testing with Dacen around 12 weeks.  Since they gave us the option we figured we would do it again with this one since I remembered the ultrasound being really cool! We got to see our baby's perfect little profile and tiny hands and feet!  I am still smiling from ear to ear!  Seeing our little one on the screen and hearing the heartbeat just made my day! As I was thinking about the journey of pregnancy and watching our little peanut's tiny hands and feet move around it reminded me of how pregnancy is such a miracle! Even though on the screen and pictures our baby seemed big it is really only about 2 inches!  It's unbelievable to me that so much can be going on and growing, that is something SO tiny!  Our little cutie pie was VERY active!  I loved getting to watch it move around!  They couldn't tell us for sure what we were having but maybe it's a girl??? I know it was at this ultrasound they were able to tell what we were having with Dacen and I remember them telling us they were pretty sure he was a boy.  We should be able to tell for sure at our next appointment that is scheduled for April 24th. Today was a wonderful day and I feel SO blessed!  I am so very thankful everything is looking good and healthy with the baby! We came home and showed Dacen the pictures! Not sure he understands yet but he is getting pretty good at saying, "baby in tummy" and will give my little bump a kiss!  It's SO cute! Here are the pics below.  What do you think we are having?

    1. Congratulations to you too! Thanks for watching my videos :) I'm not the best at making videos but figured they would be fun to look back on one day! Is this going to be your first baby? How exciting that you are having a little girl! There are SO many adorable girl things out! I keep telling my husband if we have a girl we are going to be in trouble lol! I will be wanting to shop all the time! Boys are fun to shop for too but with girls you get to buy all the fun accessories like headbands and bows :) Again, congratulations and hope you are having a great pregnancy!
