Our beautiful Baby Woodling

Aaron and I have had a due date of July 13, 2009 for quite some time now. When we had our appointment with our Midwife on friday, she told us of an Ultrasound Institute that was doing non diagnostic ultrasounds for free. This was really exciting for us, because for one: we hadn't had an ultrasound yet, and two: we needed to confirm our due date and make sure everything looked like it was going well. They offered a diagnostic ultrasound for a small price, and that is the one we needed to get. So, yesterday March 9th, we got our ultrasound. Which might I add... I had to drink 32 oz of water an hour before the start of the ultrasound so they could check to see how my cervix looked... this was very annoying and somewhat painful considering I had to "hold it in". But once he saw what he wanted to see, I got to use the restroom and we went on with the rest of the ultrasound. 

With Aaron and I very firmly not wanting to know the gender of our baby, the technician would politely turn the screen away at any time he would be coming close to the baby's "parts", and definitely when he had to confirm the gender. This was so tempting, considering the technician knew, while we remained clueless. After a couple of times trying to persuade Aaron into just finding out. He kept me strong in the wait to find out the gender of our baby. Which I'm glad he did. 

After the baby was all measured, the computer put all of the information together, to come up with a due date. And with ours being July 13th originally, I was curious to see it change or not. Which it did. Our new due date is now July 24, 2009. That makes me 20 weeks and 2 days as of today (March 10, 2009), instead of 22 weeks and 1 day. 

The technician did say that we have a beautiful baby, and that he/she cooperated very well with the ultrasound. I still have all of the images fresh in my mind. And I am so thrilled to be meeting our baby in July. We will have pictures up very soon.
