One Baby Elder on the WAY!!!

So today we had our doctor's appointment to hear our little baby's heartbeat! And we did!!! Loud and strong! It was the most amazing sound in the world! We were so unbelievably excited! Then we were even more excited because we ended up SEEING our little baby! We couldn't believe it! She ordered an ultrasound, just to make sure we were right on our due date and to check for multiples in there! For those of you who don't know, Terry & I both have twin siblings and many other twins throughout our family tree! Anyways, just one baby Elder on the way! It was so AMAZING to see! He/she was sleeping through most of it which gave us a great view. Then the tech kept shaking my belly to get him/her to wake up and move...and finally a little wiggle! It was sooooo cute!!!!

Leslie,
Khirstin and I both said it was a girl (at least hoping ;-) until we saw the ultrasound and without thinking, we both said something "boy" related. "It looks like HE is sucking his thumb" and Khirstin said something about, "look at him" or something to Derek....it means something, I guess we'll see if we're right in March?? August?? Love you so much, Andrea

I love it! I always loved the early u/s, even though they look a bit alienish-ha!, I just think it is SO amazing. And, to see them in there moving before you can feel them...AWESOME! I am so excited for you and Terry. It's so fun to see 2 people prepare to become parents, etc. A pregnancy/new baby never loses it's excitement, no matter how many you have, how many your family/friends have.
