Lil Chapps,
We just got back from our first ultrasound where we got to see you for the first time. Daddy came with me. We got lost on the way to the ultrasound, we entered into the wrong wing at the hospital, we walked around the hospital for a few minutes until realizing we were in the completely wrong building, then we arrived at the office and realized that our appt was really scheduled for 12:00 and not 12:30 like we originally thought. We were about 40 minutes late and I was worried that we would have to reschedule, but the nurse was VERY nice and she made some time for us. She began by looking inside my tummy to make sure my body was healthy. Then she looked around to see if there were two babies, but she found out it was just you! :) After measuring you, she determined that we were a little further along than the doctors originally thought (8 weeks and 3 days). I think you are just going to be a big baby and you are already tall like your mommy and daddy. What do I know? You were measured at about 3/4 of an inch long from head to tail (yes you still have a bit of a tail). Daddy and I cried as soon as we saw you on the screen. We couldn't believe our eyes. There our baby was...right before us. Then the nurse turned the sound on and we got to listen to your heartbeat. It was so loud and rhythmic. The nurse said it sounded excellent. I was crying and she kept telling me to try to be still so that she could get a really good heartbeat measurement from you. I was trying, but the miracle of your life was just overwhelming. Daddy held my hand throughout the whole thing and cried alongside me. Daddy said you are going to be a drummer because you can already keep a good beat ;) I hope you get his musical talent and not mine! We were able to get some cute pictures of you that we are going to be sharing with our family and hanging on to for years to come. WE LOVE YOU and can't wait to see you again in about a month!
