The Alien Inside

These pictures are from 6 weeks ago but better late then never I suppose.



On June 16th we had our first appointment with the doctor. During that visit, Geoff got to witness a womens complete physical and to our surprise we had our first ultrasound. Up until this point the whole pregnancy was a complete mystery since I was basically feeling completely normal. In the back of my head I didn't believe it was for real and I think it was the same for Geoff too. When we saw the little alien on the screen, we were both in shock. It was really amazing. You could see this little blob and a beating heart. I was more in shock when the NP said that she was going to make sure there was only one baby... the thought had not even crossed our minds!

As you can see here, the baby was measuring exactly as it should for 8 weeks and 3 days.





Our next ultra sound is on September 6th where we see the 3D ultrasound and they do all of the checks to make sure everything has formed correctly. That will be a very scary yet exciting day!
