Our first ultrasound was on January 12, 2009 and I was about 11 weeks pregnant (ewww bentley just farted and it really stinks), and it was a routine first appointment at the Dr's office which they call the intake appointment. You don't actually see a Dr but you do get a lot of face time with a well qualified nurse. We first did the Doppler, which is what allows you to hear the heartbeat but we weren't so lucky to hear a heartbeat from some reason or another. The nurse said we were going to need to to an ultrasound which we were happy that it was going to happen on that day!! (Waiting really stinks) So we went upstairs and had ourselves an ultrasound, which was quite possibly the coolest thing that Eric or I had ever seen! There in fact was a heartbeat (a strong one) and the lil peanut looked less alien like than I thought. It was moving so much that the tech said we had a healthy swimmer on our hands! Oh no we thought to each other...it's going to be active just like Eric was when he was little, just ask his mom.
All in all the baby looked healthy and we left with the first most expensive black and white picture of our little one...amazing!
This is so FREAKIN' cool! I'm SO excited for you guys. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful amazing time with us -- brings back tears to my eyes and so many wonderful memories... looking forward to seeing pics of your little peanut!

Thank you for setting up this blog, this is going to be so much fun. Yes, Eric was a busy little guy, but a great kid. Grandma always said how busy he was, but how much fun he was he kept things going, which she loved. She would be so proud of you, and Kate. You both are going to be such great parents. We love you both very much and looking forward to our first grandchild.

What a looker, it has Kate's awesome bod!
