BB's First Hospital Visit

On Good Friday, April 6th, we had our first visit to the hospital.  I have my regular monthly appointments at the Health Center for Women and Families here in town.  However, for our big ultrasound they sent us over to the hospital, because they have the big fancy machines.  Eventually, the health center will transfer me over to the hospital full time since they don't do deliveries in their office.  BB was breached again (not a big deal this early on) but was wiggling all over the place!  It's crazy that I can't feel all that movement yet.  I'm sure it's coming soon, though.  We got some great pictures of BB's profile (though the direct on pictures of BB's face are a little creepy and skeleton-like) and BB's arms, legs, hands and feet!  BB's feet were all the way up at my belly button.  The nurse spent time measuring all sorts of things like BB's brain, spine, heart, etc.  It was really neat.  We could even see the four individual chambers of the heart pumping away!   It's so fascinating that they can get such a detailed image.  It took her a while to get through all the various measurements she needed to do which offered lots of baby viewing time for us!  And yes, BB cooperated even though breached and we were able to find out whether we are having a baby girl or boy!  But sorry, we are still keeping that a surprise for the rest of you!  Start thinking about placing your bets.  Only a little over 4 months to go!  After our Good Friday service at church, we broke tradition and celebrated a little by going out and buying BB's first outfit.  It is just plain stinkin' cute and so tiny!  We were able to find a couple other gender neutral outfits on clearance at the outlets in Gatlinburg on vacation...but I will tell you about vacation another day in another post.  For now, it's time to get some things done around the house and make dinner in order to come back up to church to lead a dessert and discussion on "The Hunger Games" with my co-worker Mandy!  Maybe I will have some time at my Christian Educators Fellowship retreat this week to write an update about our vacation.  Until then, I hope you get to enjoy this beautiful weather we are having!
