On Vox: Baby's first photoshoot!
Today Serena and I took our lunch hour to go get our first ultrasound!
-->
We were very excited parents, overjoyed at seeing our child so safe and secure in mommy's tummy!
The kid was bouncing all over the place in there. Our friend, Nurse Angie (who works at the local Crisis Pregnancy Center associated with our church) performed the ultrasound and gave us pictures of the baby.
She also told us, based on measurements, and other factors the computer takes in to consideration, that our due date is actually 09/09/2009! Wow!
When she first saw our baby, she said, "This is not a 9-week baby!" As it turns out, the baby measures like it's 14-weeks along! In a couple of weeks we can find out the gender of the baby, even!
One of the things our baby did was look directly at the transducer (aka the probe they put on the mommy's tummy), then it stretched its arm and legs. It's going to be a BIG baby! Nurse Angie said that normally doesn't happen, so we're going to have an active baby. Normally they keep their arms close to their chest and suck on their thumb or something.
She says we're doing a great job as parents, me just taking care of Serena, and Serena just taking care of herself and the baby! We are SO excited to become parents!
Thanks for all your continuing love, prayer and support!
Josh & Serena
