Yesterday (3/5) we had our first ULTRASOUND! and it was the BEST!!! It was SO fun to SEE our little boy swimming around inside me (he is an active little boy too). He was having so much fun in there. Fist he was LOOKING right at us wondering who was out there looking in on him, and then he started putting on a SHOW for us! He is going to be such a HAM with our jeans in him. At one point he was all STRETCHED out and the Doctor said it looked like he was hanging out on the beach relaxing! (My doctor is AMAZING by the way...I love her...she is so much fun too) Also, our little guys is not SHY at all! He was very cooperative in giving us a nice shot of what he's packin'. Which I was SO excited about because I felt like EVERYTHING was on hold until I found out the sex of the baby (it's hard to pick out bedding and strollers and highchairs until you know).
Here is a picture of his SPINE:

We also got to hear his heart beat, which was so strong. During the ultra sound when the doctor was measuring the heart beat it was 160 (which is normal for a baby...Normal range is 140-160) So, it was on the HIGHER end of normal, because he was swimming around showing off for us but when we were listening to his heart beat after the ultrasound it was about 143 because he had calmed down a bit...but not too much because he did give us a little KICK while we were listening in, which was so fun to hear. This picture of his heart is kind of hard to see but that circle is his belly and the 2 dark spots inside the circle (pointed out by the arrow) is his heart.

The 2 circles in this image are his head and his belly. The one on the left is his head and then on the right is his belly.

So that is our CUTE little boy. We can't wait for him to get bigger and come out of my belly. I am excited to start to feel him more, I have felt him a few times but he is only about 5 inches long and 6 ounces. We will definitely post all of his glamor shots on the blog as they come along. We have our next appointment in April so don't hold your breath.

Oh, how wonderful. Did you see he gave you a message with his heart rate? (143) I'm pretty sure one of Lanae's girls gave her the same message....our secret code for "I LOVE YOU"! How sweet! Love you guys, Mom
SO cool. How exciting! It will be fun to see more pictures as he gets bigger!
Yeah! So exciting!!
Congratulations! That's great that you got to find out the sex of your baby this early...it seems like I had to wait until 20 weeks. Things definitely seem more "real" when you know exactly what you're having!
You look SO cute!!! Congratulations on expecting a boy!
I'm so excited for you guys!! You look so cute with your little tummy!
YAY!!!! Your antique yellow room will be a great room for baby Broadhead! I hope you're feeling a little better. Love you!
