We met Dr Booker. He seems to be a very friendly man. He went through initial questions and then he said we'd go and get an ultrasound. In a little side room he put on the jelly stuff and then we saw our little bub. Still very surreal that it is really in there. It looks a lot bigger on the screen than what it is (I know - it's obvious, but still). The heart beat was there and as Dr Booker said, the baby looked like it was pulling faces with us. It was quite active, jumping around and waving its arms and hands. Yes, there is only one heart beat and only one baby (thank goodness! With all the sarcasm about it from different people, we started to question if it was going to be more than one). He also said that by bp is perfect too so all is good.
We then went and chatted with the midwife who was also very friendly. She ran through some different things, was very happy to answer our questions and chat about different things. We decided that we wouldn't get the 12 week proper ultrasound because we would just do it to see the baby - what we did today. So yeah. The next time will be at 18 weeks and around 19 weeks we'll wet the other ultrasound to check lots of things.
So we think we've told all people we need to tell directly. We are now putting it on facebook to cover the other people that we know, but don't have numbers for. Very crazy and exciting times ahead!
Here is a little picture of the ultrasound that we got. There were a lot of better images in what we saw but this is the little keep-sake that we got. It's even waving at you :-)
