It’s been a busy few days for these parents-to-be! We went to see our OB-GYN on Friday and had a diagnostic ultrasound on Monday. Both times we got to hear the heartbeat! It was totally normal at 170 beats per minute. It’s amazing how hard the kid’s working to grow in there.
The ultrasound was pretty fun. The baby was very active, jumping around, moving his or her arms and legs, and generally refusing to get into the right position to have the necessary measurements taken. Even though it took an hour to get the procedure finished, it was amazing to watch our baby being so active.
After seeing how restless the baby was, we’re worried we’re going to have a very active little kid! Hopefully we have enough energy to keep up. Also, given the baby’s stubbornness in not staying in the right position, we think it might be a girl; yet another stubborn woman in a long line of stubborn women from Tracie’s side. :)
We’ll actually find out the gender when we go back for another ultrasound in mid-July. It was just too early to tell at this stage, but we did get some decent pictures!
