She wasn't super cooperative during the ultrasound, so we have no typical profile shot. So, instead you get a picture of her leg and foot and her tiny hand waving hello. :)
The ultrasound was actually a super cool experience. For some reason, I just assumed the ultrasound was pretty much specifically to find gender. But, it turns out (as probably many of you are already aware) that they actually do it to check everything. Even though she wasn't cooperative for the head-shot or the gender-shot, she was in prime position to measure her heart, stomach, diaphragm, spine, brain, and all of those other very important things. And it was really cool to see her little heart beat, her brain, aorta, spine, all her limbs, and nice healthy movement. She is all perfectly healthy and good, so that is excellent. :)
It was really cute, though. The whole ultrasound she was sitting with her legs crossed (thus preventing us from seeing whether she was a boy or girl until the very end of the ultrasound). You can see that in the first picture. I think its way cute...but I guess I am a little biased. She also had her hands covering her head the whole time (which prevented the profile shot). But I'd rather they have a good shot at all the other important stuff than have a profile shot. So-- all in all, we are so grateful and excited for a healthy little girl!
Scott's grandparents got her these little socks. :) I really think they are adorable. haha. Baby stuff- so cute.
We are also excited because we made our first baby purchase. :) Walmart was having a pretty good sale on cribs on Black Friday, and in addition you got a free mattress for the crib. So we jumped on that, and ordered our crib! Yay!
People have been asking me if I have felt the baby move yet (since I will be 20 weeks this week, I guess lots of people feel movement by now). The answer was no-- until yesterday. I think. Last night I was working on my lesson for Relief Society today, and I am fairly certain that I felt the baby move. It was kind of a cool feeling. I am not 100% sure, since I don't have any experience feeling baby movement. haha. But I am pretty sure that's what it was. I am hoping by Christmas or so we will be able to feel the movement from the outside so that Scott can feel it. That would be neat. :)
Anyway- thats all. I was going to decorate our apartment with Christmas stuff today and take pictures. BUT- I forgot we took our little tree to Heber. And since pretty much all of our decorations consist of our Christmas tree and ornaments and the stockings, I decided to postpone that. I will try to post pictures, though, once it gets done. :)
Congratulations to both of you! What an exciting time of life.
