Ultrasound Pictures! (12 weeks)

Pat and I had our first glimpse at our baby! At my first doctor's appointment, my OB thought I was a little further along than I thought b/c of how big I was already-those are always words a pregnant woman loves to hear! So he scheduled me an ultrasound and was able to get in Jan 17th-just a couple days after my appointment. I was still convinced it was maybe twins but was good with the fact I could be just a little further along. The ultrasound confirmed that there was just one healthy baby. It was so amazing being able to see our baby-so small but so full of life. They gave me a due date of July 25th-only 5 days sooner than we originally thought, but I'll take it. But then, my nurse called a few days later and after the Dr reviewed the ultrasound, he moved it back to the original due date-July 30th. Looks like we'll be celebrating lots of Leos with mine & Justin's being August 1, and Olivia's August 4th. When I showed Olivia the pictures of the baby in mommy's tummy, she wasn't too sure of what it was. I said to her, "Isn't that cute?" and her reply- "that not cute". After showing her another one-she replied, "that not a baby, that a turtle". She even repeated it to Pat later that night that the baby was a turtle. Hhhmmmm. We have a little work ahead of us explaining to her about what's to come.
