Our Wild Child!


Today we had our first real prenatal appointment. We were told that it was only going to be a check-up and we might get to hear the heartbeat, but that was it. Well, we got a whole lot more! First the doctor (I'm calling her a doctor, but she's really a midwife) said, well, I'm going to try to find the heartbeat, but don't panic if we can't find it. She couldn't find, and of course, I was still worried, but then she said she'd do an ultrasound. It was so amazing! Our baby was so active, and was moving around the whole time. The dr was getting frustrated because she was trying to get good measurements, but the baby was moving around so much she was having a difficult time doing it. Tom and I were laughing, it's a renegade baby!!! We saw the baby have the hiccups, curl up, stretch out, and even put his hand in mouth. It was so incredible to be able to see our baby for the first time. This one picture is really cute, I think he's waving hi to us :). We'll post the other photos when we get them scanned in.
