Ultrasound

So we had our ultrasound yesterday...

It's a strange process because at first, the screen is positioned so you can't see it; the tech makes all kinds of squinting faces and the machine beeps and sighs. Also, I way overdid it on water drinking so I was actually in physical pain by the time I got in there. I even peed twice right before going in, and the tech (thankfully!) told me I was still too full. Those guidelines about drinking four big glasses of water are clearly not designed for my minute bladder. Then, they still had do an internal anyway, so all my pain was in vain.

So when they actually turned the screen towards me, my reaction was a bit understated. Basically, I was just like "Cool!" D had a lot more questions than I did, like "How big is it?" "Does it have a brain yet?"

The best part was getting to hear a little heartbeat - thump-thump-thump-thump. So that was pretty neat. We even got a little picture to take home, which I will eventually scan, even though it basically just shows a little white blob.
