Last Wednesday we went to the Dr. and were able to have an ultrasound to determine #1) that there was only one little Carter in there, since we were on fertility treatments(which there is only one...=)) and #2) get an estimated due date for our little bundle of joy! It was without a doubt the most amazing, miraculous sight I have ever seen!! Our little baby was wiggling around and it's heart was just pounding away! We were even able to hear it's heartbeat and I was surprised by how strong it sounded! It definitely put my fears to rest. The baby measured perfectly for where we assumed it would be, 6w1d, and they were able to determine that baby's estimated due date is November 4th, 2008.
Above is the first picture we have Baby Carter, although there really isn't much to see! Every time Baby's heart took a beat the whole little beans top half moved back and forth into view. When this picture was shot baby's head disappeared except for the top corner, but you can see the heart, it's the brighter white area, and baby's lower half. Look in the bottom area of the sac, that's our little bambino! The ultrasound tech even typed BABY in the little sac where baby lives. There really isn't much to see, but it's still precious to me! It's my baby's first picture!=)
We apparently don't have another ultrasound until the 20 week anatomy ultrasound where they will measure all of baby's organs and make sure everything is right on target. We will also get to find out if it's a boy or a girl at this visit, hopefully! Yes, we are finding out the gender of the baby before it's birth. I'm a big planner and I'm sure knowing what we're expecting will help with the baby preparations! I also think knowing the sex ahead of time will help us bond with our baby. This appointment should be in late May, early June. We cannot wait!!!
