Baby's First Picture

We had our ultrasound this week! At first it was somewhat anticlimactic, the ultrasound tech did the standard ultrasound and we couldn't really tell what we were looking at. The heart, spine, and hand were pretty clear, but we can barely tell what the pictures she printed out for us are of. It got much more exciting when the doctor came in and did a lot of the 3D ultrasound pictures (I'll try to scan some and post them this week). They are simply amazing.

Apparently our baby is already stubborn and doesn't listen well. The baby kept moving around and would not keep his/her hand away from their face, despite the doctor "tapping" on my belly with the ultrasound wand. And no we did not find out if the baby is a boy or girl, but we did confirm there is only one baby.

And did anyone else know that you are not supposed to use lotion on your belly a week prior to the ultrasound? The doctor told me this as he was trying to get better pictures of the baby. Not that I use a lot of lotion, but I definately would not have used any if this information had been given to me a week sooner!
