First Ultrasound- March 29

The doctor ordered an early ultrasound for dating reasons.  We showed up, Krisdeena with a very full bladder, and the put the warm gel on the belly.  Right away you could see the baby on the big screen TV they had in the room, the baby was sleeping most the time.  After a minute or so of looking at the baby, she turned on the sound and you could hear the heartbeat throughout the entire room, she measured the heartbeat and it was racing along at 164 bpm.  It was pretty awesome to hear that sound.  Monkey was sleeping the entire time, but then toward the end it woke up and wiggled around a bit, and turned over to the other side to back to sleep.  The Ultrasound technician dated monkey only 1 day after the midwife did, so everything is measuring normal and doing fine. 

The next appointment was scheduled for April 26, the 16 week check up.  So far, so good.
