Picture Perfect...

We had our first ultrasound today and it was AWESOME! It is so surreal to see that there is actually a baby inside of me! (If you click on the picture, you should be able to see it bigger.) Looks like Baby Lindo is trying to suck his/her thumb already! The baby was exactly the size it should be at this point. We also got to hear the heartbeat which was the most amazing sound we have ever heard! We are so thankful that everything is going well and that the baby is healthy and I am feeling great. On the other hand, it turns out that we may have a little trouble maker on our hands. The purpose of the ultrasound was to do a number of different tests and our little munchkin was not cooperating. The baby was in the one position that the test could not be performed in so we are going to have to go in again and get some bloodwork done sometime in the future (not a big deal). :) We didn't mind, though, because we got a glimpse of our baby and that was worth more than we could have asked for.

I have to share a funny story...Chris and I met at the clinic for our appointment, so we drove separately. Well, we both were very excited and Chris accidentally left his lights for the truck on. So...when we came out of our appointment (glowing), his truck was dead. I, however, didn't realize this (in my excitement) and just took off to drive home. Chris couldn't call me because I had forgotten my cell phone at home (we are a good pair, huh?). Luckily, Chris had his bike in the truck and rode his bike home! It gets better...when we were going back to jump his truck, we realized he had also locked his keys in the truck! After a long time of searching for our spare truck key, we finally found it and were able to go jump the truck. So funny!!!

We scheduled our 20 week ultrasound for January 26...that is when we will be able to find out the sex of the baby! Stay tuned and please keep Baby Lindo in your prayers. There is still a lot of growing to do!!!
