Back to important stuff. We had our first ultrasound today, the baby is actually almost 13 weeks, so a little older than we thought. I was surprised by 2 things;
One was how amazing the equipment is these days. The image was very high resolution and even having never really looked at one before the baby's anatomy was all very clear.
The second was how hard those first moments hit me emotionally. I was totally blind-sided by that expecting it to be a pretty nuts & bolts experience just checking to make sure everything was growing right and the heartbeat was correct. I teared up pretty hard watching it move around and gulp amniotic fluid, it was the first time it all felt that real.
Also, we're having a boy (to my wife's disappointment) Everything looked good smack in the middle of normal ranges, the chances of him being healthy were very much on our side but it is still good to know.
