This morning was so exciting for us. We got to go for our first (and potentially only) ultrasound.
We were so excited, but nervous to make sure that all things were accounted for. And much to our relief, we were told we seem to have a "perfect baby".
Sprout wasn't too cooperative for the first part, sleeping curled up in a ball facing Terra's spine, but eventually came around after some prodding and showed us arms. legs, hands, feet, spine, all 4 heart chambers, profile, kidneys, umbilical chord and bladder. The ultrasound technician said baby has really big feet!
We steered clear of the pelvic shot in order to keep the gender a surprise.
Sprout is at a tenth of his/her weight at 8 oz and the fetal heartbeat was 139 bpm which is great.
This was just another one of those milestones for us that really makes parenthood feel a bit more real.
