I remember just before my first ultrasound my sister was teasing me that it was twins. Panic. On May 11th I went in for my first ultrasound to confirm how far along I was and the due date.
I have to say I was nervous and battling the try-not-to-pee-your-pants as she pressed on my almost full bladder. At first the monitor was turned away..so I stared at the doctor, then my mother, then the ceiling as the goo and wand slid across my belly. Finally the doctor smiled and turned the monitor my way. She pointed to the heart. I could see the outline of the baby as it kicked and bounced in the black and white screen. Then I saw the little smudge that blinked to be the heart.
She moved the wand around to the side of my stomach and we saw the baby from a side view. I watched the baby throw some punches and a big smile came across my face, the first mother's proud moment.
Tears formed in my eyes, I tried to hold back from a full outburst of ..I think they were actually happy tears...the feeling was so overwhelming I probably felt a range of emotions.
I wish the father could have had the chance to experience it because a still picture doesn't do it justice and certainly doesn't show the cool boxer growing inside!
I've never seen an ultrasound before and I have to say it was amazing! I can not wait until the next one!
