18 Weeks 1 Day

Hi Y'all! I had my ultrasound test today where I had to drink 32oz of fluid and hold it for a really long time while the tech did the ultrasound and pressed against my bladder. Not a good thing to do when you have to go really really bad! But other then that information, everything looked great! The baby was moving around soooo much, the tech had a hard time measuring things. I have a very active baby, that's for sure! You could see the baby open it's mouth and suck it's thumb and kick and punch. I'm so in aww of the whole thing! Unfortunately Jason was not allowed in the room with me and we couldn't take any video of the event. I felt very bad for Jason sitting in the waiting room wondering whats going on and why can't I be in there with her. The tech took over 90 pictures and measurements. It was just so wonderful the see the little one moving around so much. At this point I'm feeling some little movements now and then. When I tell Jason about it, he gets this HUGE grin on his face. He's so excited. We had the tech look at the baby's parts and see if we could see if it was a girl or boy, but we really couldn't get a good picture and with all the movements couldn't really tell. Oh well. We'll have to wait 2 more weeks. I have my amnio appointment tomorrow and then we wait 2 weeks for the results including the sex. So I'm hoping by Christmas Eve we'll find out. That would be the best Christmas present! Until then, I've included some pictures from today's ultrasound. The first one is the baby actually looking at you and has it's mouth open, the second is the baby's profile. Such a cutie! Enjoy!

Love to all!
