On October 14th, 2008 we had your first untrasound. The doctor wanted to do an untrasound to find out a more correct due date. Daddy got to come with me to the untrasound; it was really good to have him there.
The frist image that came up on the screen was your profile, just like below. As the image appeared onto the screen, you were moving your right arm back and forth. It make it look like you were waving to your parents. I said, "Leif, it's waving at us". Daddy laughed.
We were really surprised with how active you were. Your little legs and arms were moving around and your heart was beating so fast. Your activity was the biggest suprised to me. It's weid that I don't feel you in my belly. But the technition told me that you are only the size of my little pinky.
The best of news came at the end of our appointment. After the technician took measurements on your arms, legs, head, and body she gave us a new due date. From your size and growth, you are now due on APRIL 18th!!! That is one week earlier then expected. Daddy and I are so excited that you are coming earlier. This means Mom gets to get out of teaching early and you will arrive before Dad has to really start studying for the bar.
This is my favorite picture of you. Can you see your little hand waving at your parents. Your legs are also wiggling around. The technician had a hard time getting a measurement of your legs and head because of your activity. I wonder if you means you are going to be an active kiddo?
At the end of the ultrasound, the technician picked out 5 pictures for us to take home. We were so excited to receive these pictures and show all our friends and family.
