Early Ultrasound

    So I wrote this blog post right after the ultrasound but finally bought printer ink which enabled my printer to scan the ultrasound. Sorry for the delay.

    So I got an ultrasound to find out the exact due date. I was very excited and it was kind of like a mini date for Perry and I. He got work off to go with me and kids under 14 aren't allowed to come so Grant was napping while a sitter relaxed in our family room.
    The place was super nice and modern designed. There was a big flat screen tv where we watched the ultrasound take place. We saw our baby kick its legs a little. We saw and heard the heartbeat! That was pretty cool. And as everyone already knows our due date is now August 11. I'm enjoying the number 11 lately. Our anniversary is on April 11. Grant was due February 11. And now this baby is due August 11. The baby may very well be born exactly 2 1/2 years apart from Grant!
    As much as I was bummed that we weren't as far a long... it wasn't that I wanted the baby to come any sooner but that I wanted my baby bump to show to prove that I'm pregnant. That is my favorite part! The pictures below I guess were the best the tech could do but while we were watching the ultrasound we could see a little more detail every once in a while. But I understand it might be difficult because since I'm only 9 weeks (size of a grape) instead of 10 and a half (size of a lime), and the baby grows quite a bit in that amount of time it would be hard to see such small detail.


Obviously the baby is in the "drawn" oval. 
This is a little clearer but hardly. The baby's front or back is smooshed up against my uterine wall. To the left is the tale bone and the right round area is the head. The little smudge above the body is the yolk sak.
