It's a boy!!!!



On Friday morning we went to First Glimpse to find out what our little peanut was. Before we got there I drank a whole can of coke which I was hoping would make the baby a little more active because I had not drank ANY caffeine since before I got pregnant. Which I happen to be pretty proud of considering how much of a caffeine freak I was before :). When we got in there we had to fill out some paperwork. Then the lady took us back to the room. It definitely did not look like the ultrasound rooms at the doctor's office. I laid down on the huge bed/table thing and then she put the wand on my belly and there he was! She was moving the wand around trying to get the baby into the right position. She had a bit of a hard time because he was moving around A LOT (I wonder if it was the caffeine hehe). When she finally got him in the right position the cord was going right in between the legs. So she did some 4D pictures for a little while hoping that as much as he was moving around that the cord would move out of the way. The 4D pictures were really cool. You could really see his features and his cute little button nose! At one point he kept putting his hand over his face so that you couldn't see his face. I was like just like my child to get picture shy. During this whole process I kept looking over at Andrew. At one point I looked at him and he just seemed to be watching in amazement. I thought it was really cute. She went back to the 2D and tried to find the babies' sex. The cord was still in the way but she turned on this thing where she could see the blood flowing through the cord. But it didn't matter. I knew whether the cord was there or not that there was a little wee wee there. It was a couple minutes later when she finally confirmed the it was a BOY! After she confirmed we did some more 4D pictures and some more 2D. Before leaving she gave me a sticker that said IT"S A BOY! on it. We then went to the front I got a frame the said "Oh Boy!" on it to put the ultrasound pictures in. The lady printed out some pictures and then made a CD of all of the pictures and also gave me a DVD of the whole session. I thought it was a really great experience and I was so happy that I decided to do it! Here are some pictures from that day
