today is the day we've been looking foward to. The visit where we could see more than just a peanut or a chicken. it was a short but sweet little visit. the doctor basically just wanted to know how i was feeling, if i had any questions, then wanted to do a quick ultrasound to check the vitality of the little one growing inside me. so here it is. it's a little blurred and a little difficult to make out real well without some explanation. we added text to help guide you along, so hopefully that helps. you can obviously see it's starting to take shape and looking more like a real human.
the weirdest part about today's visit was seeing it punch and kick but me not being able to feel anything. they say it's too small right now, although it's about the size of lemon or clinched fist. the doctor said that it's typical in the first pregnancy to possibly not feel anything until week 20+. so...that's about mid-june. we'll see how that goes.
so anyways...if this whole thing ever felt real to me it's now. it was really exciting to see this little thing move around and to be so formed with all it's peices/parts in place and yet be so tiny. the heart was just a flutterin' and the doctor said everything looked great. she kept repeating, 'isn't it amazing?' as she pointed out what everything was to us. it truly is amazing and God showed us that very clearly today. he is surely the most incredible creator of any creative...we can only touch the surface.

Ahhh. Isn't it sweet?! It really is amazing. To first feel it move is like a flutter, but you'll feel it getting stronger & stronger over time. There is nothing like it. Your bond & excitement will continue to grow just as your baby does. Can't wait!
ultrasounds are funny things. the first couple of times you see them, you think "what the heck am i looking at, and how can you see anything there?" with the twins, once the first ultrasound showed 2 babies instead of one (up to then, we'd only heard 1 heartbeat), we had an ultrasound at least every 2 weeks. so, i got pretty adept at seeing what i was supposed to.
your little guy/girl (assuming here that jeff won and you don't know) looks great!
