We had our first prenatal check up today. Normal routines involved urine & blood tests. Also, an ultrasound was done. We got to see the fetus for the first time on the black and white screen. It looked like a dancing bean (it was very active). The fetus is approximately the size of a bean. Probably an ounce and 1/2 inch long. Seeing the fetus and hearing it's heart beat made it so very real to us. It was a trip!
Shane and I believe the baby is going to be a girl. We both would really like a girl but either one is fine as long as it's healthy, right? It would be cool if it's a boy too. I would have a mommy's little boy and Shane would have a fishing or sports buddy. I read the Chinese Baby Gender Prediction Chart the other day and it predicted that I will have a girl. :) I'm not a superstitious person at all but I feel that this one may hold true. We won't be able to find out the sex until late Oct.
The other day, the strangest thing happened. First of all, I have to mention, at this time I don't have much of a belly yet. My co-worker suddenly came to me and asked if I'm pregnant. I was totally blown away by her question because I was caught off guard and didn't expect it. I asked her how did she know....and she was like "I always know ...you have a pregnancy glow on your face." Hmm... I'm not sure if I believe in that "pregnancy glow". The question would have been pretty offensive if I wasn't pregnant.
Below is a picture of the ultrasound.
