Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound today. 

 Meet Bebe Pressley!

Matt said since we are into our second trimester according to some people (some websites put it as 13 weeks, while some put it at 14 weeks) that we could announce it to everyone.  He has been bursting at the seams to tell.  So we posted on facebook our very first chalkboard drawing (that was completed a few short days after finishing the chalboard- but was for our eyes only up until today)

 

I am overwhelmed by how excited people are for us.  It is such a journey to go on, but to see the number of indivduals praying for us, and those as excited as we are has been a blessing.  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

We come home and celebrated by writing on the chalkboard again!

The ultrasound tech said that I am measuring at 13 weeks and 1 day.  So she put my estimated delivery date at March 11, 2013. 

I did not get to see much of the ultrasound since it was done internally, but watching Matt's face as our baby squirmed around was enough to make me cry.  I did get to see Bebe opening his or her mouth though, and that adorable little nose up there- that's our baby's! 

Matt predicts it is a girl.... his reasoning, (she) kept flailing her arms and moving around and opening and closing her mouth---- just like her mom does-- especially when she is sleeping.  Haha.

We do not plan to find out the sex of the baby until birth day! (Matt is a little hesitant about this- but he comes around more and more every day.) 

Stay tuned for weekly old wives tale posts to help predict what Bebe P will be.
