Baby Stevie

As long as I am in a blogging mood...

We had our first ultrasound on monday. It was the most amazing feeling EVER! Although I knew that I was in fact pregnant, when the technician put the jelly on and started prodding around, the first question out of my mouth was, "please! tell me there is a baby in there!" Lucky for everyone there IS a baby in there. A beautiful baby. Maybe a bit alien like right now, but just you wait until it comes out!! Ryan got to watch the whole thing, while I had to lie still like a patient little mommy while the girl took all her measurements and whatnot. The baby is very healthy, with both arms and legs. There is more stuff in the report, but I won't bore you with the details! We also got to see the little heart beating (although we couldn't hear it). The heartbeat was at 167. She looked at it from different angles, and at one point had to poke my belly rather hard because it simply would not turn itself over to face the camera!! We did get a couple of nice shots though.

We can't wait until the next scan. Only 8 more weeks until we see our little miracle again!! Hopefully by then I will LOOK pregnant. I'm still not showing (not enough that anyone would say "when's the baby due?" - not that you would ask that question ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever...I can't memorize enough ever's. Oh Brian Regan!)

I told the kids in my class too. I've gotten some really funny questions, like "do you think the baby can hear us?" or "is the baby allowed to eat sweets?" or "does the baby get to do PE too?" Oh, the innocence of a 7 year old mind! I've gotten some sketchy questions too, like "how does the baby get in there?" and "how will the baby get out?" Definitely questions to send home for mommy and daddy!!
