I had my first ultrasound today!

DH and I got to see our second baby today!!!  The woman at the ultrasound place was complaining that I hadn't had enough water prior to coming (when I was pg. with DS, I drank the "required" 2 litres of water prior to my first ultrasound and I thought I was going to DIE so I drank a lot less this time).  Anyway, despite the lecture I got about how "each day is different" with regards to how your bladder proceses fluids and yadda yadda, she totally had a clear view and got all of the pictures she needed.

Baby was moving around a lot, flipping around, actually, and the little heart was fluttering away! :-)  According to the u/s, I'm 12w 4d - which is more or less where I had calculated.  

We were so excited to see our second little bean!  We'll be telling both of our families in person in the next couple of weeks - DH's this coming weekend, and mine the following weekend.

Hey- better safe than sorry!

You can use picnik.com to do it really quick, too, unless you already have photoshop or picasa or whatever.

Sorry....I realized that I have to black out the personal information on the u/s (yes, I'm paranoid)....and I'm too lazy to do it right now (lol).....Maybe later, ok, ladies?  :-)

That's exciting, first pictures!!! I remember my 20 week appointment that I had at a specialist...I had to drink 40 oz just to find out that I was only supposed to drink 20...I actually had to pee two times during the ultrasound just so the tech could see better...I had to wait 2 hours after I drank it because they messed up my appointment time. So not only did I think I was gonna go way before I got in the room, I had to make myself not completely empty my bladder...I had to count out 10 seconds each time I peed so I knew when to stop...

That's so exciting! Congrats!! I know what you mean about the water. With this pregnancy I drank so much for the first u/s I thought for sure I was going to go right there on the table. lol. The second time I didn't drink as much and it was perfectly fine.
