Today we had our first ultrasound – we finally got to meet you!! Yesterday we heard your heartbeat and we were wondering even more if there were twins in there because the lady said that my uterus was bigger than it should be at 16 weeks. She had some trouble finding your heartbeat – you must have been wiggling around in there. She finally found it and checked your heart rate – 144 which is normal. We were so happy to hear you in there. We were disappointed because we thought we would have an ultrasound that day but later they told us that they would schedule one for later this week, And when the lady finally gave us all the appointments, she said she could get us an ultrasound for the next day in the morning. Your dad and I were so excited – we talked about you all day.
Today I had to go to work so it was really hard to be patient even for just a few hours. When we got to the doctor’s office we realized that the ultrasound would be done right down the hall from where Mater works. We saw her and told her where we were going. While we were signing in, Mater came in to see us and told us to come tell her everything once we done but we invited her to come in with us. She was so excited that she would get to see you too!!
When we first got to see you, you were facing forward on your side. We could see your little face. The doctor measured you all over while we watched. She pointed out your legs and feet, your arms, your head. We even saw your little heart beating; that was daddy’s favorite part. The doctor tried to see if you were a he or a she but you had your little feet tucked behind your bum; daddy said you must take after him because he sleeps like that sometimes. The doctor would shake you by pushing on my tummy. I had a full bladder so that was interesting. The doctor told us that I was 15 weeks and 5 days; less than we thought. She said she couldn’t tell for sure what you were but if she had to guess she would say a girl. We were glad. I will go back in three weeks to see you again and maybe you will be more cooperative.
We love you so much already.
