IT'S A BOY!!
My intuition was wrong as I totally thought it was a girl, but I kinda wanted it to be a boy! Andrew was being pretty closed- mouth on his guess (but he was stinkin' excited when we found out it was a boy). We do love the idea of having a boy first :)
Sabrina came to the appointment with us and it was really great having her there! The nurse looked at and measured everything, and she said he looked really really healthy. She pointed out the brain, heart, kidneys, stomach, bladder, umbilical cord, and we got to watch the blood going in and out of the heart when she turned on the color. It was pretty obvious he was a he when she got to that point, but it made it even more fun that we could tell right away! I don't think he liked being poked and pushed on because he was moving a lot! I think the nurse was getting kinda frustrated, but my heart melted... It was so cool being able to feel and see him moving around in there... I'm already in love with him! Then there were caramel apples (our after-appointment treat from Kneader's - if you haven't tried these and live in Utah, GO THERE!) and mass texts to family and friends and it started to sink in that we are going to have a baby! Crazy!
So, we scanned in some of our ultrasound pictures for those who are following from afar... Enjoy!
This first one is the profile (obviously) and is my favorite because he actually looks like a baby! The nurse tried to get a straight-on picture of his face but he was wiggling around too much. But I don't care, this is too cute!
This second one is of his arms and hands... So little!
The last one is of his feet... Kinda blurry because he was kicking so much. His ankles were crossed in this picture, so the bottom foot is his left and you get a slanted look at the right. SO IN LOVE!
