18 weeks and 5 days - Ultrasound Day!

Here is the long awaited photo of Baby Davis taken today during our ultrasound. On the left if the baby's chest and on the right is his/her head. See his/her ear? Both hands are up around his/her face. See his/her nose and lips? We were so excited to learn that everything is normal and our baby weighs 8 ounces (1/2 a lb.).

We made sure not to find out the sex of the baby during our ultrasound and doctor's appointment. I do have to admit that I was very curious though. The doctor showed me all the results of the ultrasound and covered the baby's sex on the second page of the report with his finger. It was killing me to know but I realize later that I would have been disappointed later. Then at the end of the appointment the doctor gave me my chart to take to the appointment desk to schedule my next appointment and said, "now don't look at page 2". That was torture. It was like that episode of Friends when Ross and Rachel have the opportunity to find out the sex of their baby because her chart was sitting in the exam room with them. We stayed strong and didn't look but I am jealous the ultrasound technician, the doctor and anyone that sees our chart knows what we are having and we don't. This just adds to the excitement and anticipation of the big day.
