Baby's First Photo (Ultrasound info for No. 5)

Ultrasound for Baby No. 5 18 Weeks and 4 days along!

Today...we had our first ultrasound on baby No. 5! It was great! Had a super technician who was kind, and friendly. She said during the "quiet" part of the exam that our baby was moving all about! "A very active baby" were the exact words!! Am I going to be in trouble here!! Well...Catie and this baby were active on the screen! So far Catie has been a dream! Let's hope that continues in that pattern.I want to record this moment...I want to remember the feeling of the pressure of a full bladder, the nervousness of myself...almost holding my breath, counting the ceiling tiles, saying quiet prayers that our baby will be a healthy baby! A happy baby. The exam was quick, and she brought Cliff in...immediately...there is our beautiful little one moving about...looking right towards us. HE/SHE even waved at us! That was really cool. The best part was that Cliff could share in this moment...together. The three of us. A pretty exciting moment! As now we will not see this little one until April or May!! I cannot wait. The show was over quickly...but something that will remain in my memory bank forever. Just as the other little ones I had in my belly!

All of these great memories. We have so many hopes and dreams for this little one!! And for all of our kids!In the van on the way back home (to rescue my Dad who had all 4 of them doing crafts at the kitchen table) Cliff said I think she scanned right over the "parts"...I said "What did you see?" He said I think boy parts...but it could have been the cord! LOL. From the picture I say boy LOL.
