Today we had our ultrasound. I have 4 pictures of our little guy. It was sooo awesome, I can hardly explain what was going through my head. Aaron came with me and he held my hand and when the picture came up I was astonished. This little bean is growing inside of me and Aaron and I created this little miracle.
Every now and then it would wiggle a little, and then she got the heartbeat...this little white flashing light going very fast.
Then she took some measurements and then she turned on the sound so we could hear the heartbeat... it was soo loud and fast. AMAZING!! Aaron squeezed my hand harder when she turned on the heartbeat. This makes it feel so real. A couple little tears fell but I kept myself under control.
I am measuring up to date and everything looks great the tech said. And she said that everything looked healthy and I am still looking at November 21st for a due date. The baby is around 2.14 cm in length and ways about as much as a handful of jelly beans. Very tiny!!
After our ultrasound we had our interview with the nurse Jackie, and she was super nice. We covered everything, diet, weight, appointments, delivering in Bluffton, and yes NO EPIDURAL!! She says that women do it all the time and have been doing it for years. That if I go to the birthing classes and try and stay home as long as possible during labor that I should do just fine. She says those who stick out most of their labor at home do better, because they are in their own environment and then when they get to the hospital they are poking around and hooking you up to everything that it is hard for you to get situated.
Well I will get those pics scanned tonight and then post them tomorrow... I can't stop thinking about this little bean in my belly squirming around and growing!!! We are so blessed!
Love you all - Kelly & Aaron

What cute ultra sound pictures!!!With Ava our first ultra sound was at 8 weeks and she looked like a little gummy bear!With Ember our 1st ultra sound was at 13 weeks so it was interesting seeing how much they grow in that amount of time!
You are brave to choose the no epidural route!With Ava I just told myself to go as long as I could so I wouldn't slow down my labor....I loved my epidural though,even though I only had it for 20 min.before Ava arrived!
