Brad met me at the doctor office at 1pm. We got into the room and she started the sonogram. Thinking you were only about 8 weeks old, we both expected to see a little tadpole or something small, but it was only a couple of seconds before you were there on the screen…with arms, and legs, and a heartbeat! It was absolutely amazing and without a doubt one of the most memorable moments in our lives! You were so squirmy and wouldn’t sit still…even the nurse commented on how active you were. I joked about that being a sign of how much trouble you were going to give us! Besides hearing the heartbeat and making sure you were healthy, the other main goal of the sonogram was to figure out how old you were. She measured you from head to rump on the screen and then announced that you were about 11 weeks old! WHAT?! 11 weeks?! How could that be? We were later told 11 weeks and 4 days to be exact. That means our first trimester was almost over, that we were pretty much out of the danger zone for a miscarriage, and that we could start safely telling our friends and family! It was all very weird, crazy, and super exciting!
Here’s one of the very first picture/video ever taken of you!
