We went in for our first ultrasound tonight to see our baby and to find out if it's a boy or girl! Well, we found out the gender in less than 2 seconds!
The ultrasound tech said, "Yep, it's DEFINITELY a boy!"
The place we went to was like an ultrasound boutique, and was NOT like the doctor's office at all! We had an entire theater to ourselves, and the ultrasound was projected on a giant screen. We were surprised how MUCH the baby was moving. He was kicking, pushing the walls around him, tugging on his umbilical cord, flipping around, and even waving at us! He even put his hands up and formed it into an "I Love You" in sign language, unfortunately the tech wasn't able to snap a picture in time. The hand is still there, just too blurry to tell. Darn!
The tech told us he was a healthy boy, with really long legs and a great, strong heartbeat. Very active too, obviously. I was surprised because I don't feel that much, so I wasn't expecting so much activity. We also got to see his brain and his heart. Kinda creepy, but cool.
We LOVED that little place we went to get our ultrasound. It's this great place called "My Baby Bump" in Clarksville. We booked online for our appointment last week, and when we arrived today, there was no record of our 5:10 PM appointment, but our sister in law, Lori, was double booked for 2 PM the next day. Our names are similar... Lori Farley and Laura Farley... but it was just weird that my appointment disappeared and then Lori was double booked for the same time the next day. I was kind of bummed cause I thought they'd make us reschedule, but the tech was so nice and told us that she could squeeze us in for a 5:30 appointment. When it was our turn, we went into this nice, warm room with the lights dimmed and comfortable couches, a big screen, and a comfortable examination table that was more like a bed than a table. The tech immediately got started and we were surprised how fast we could see the baby. We got to watch the baby play for about 10 minutes and listen to his heart beat. Then our tech printed out snapshots and gave us a CD full of pictures and a rubber bracelet that says "It's a boy!". We also got a free "heartbeat elephant", which is a stuffed elephant with the heartbeat recorded into it, so whenever we press its stomach, it plays the heartbeat. Pretty cool. And on top of that, the tech gave us a discount for the "inconvenience" of my appointment not showing up on the schedule like it should've. They had EXCELLENT service, probably the nicest I've ever been treated anywhere! And the prices were so affordable. It was awesome. I would totally recommend this place to anyone in Clarksville.
Ok, so here are ALL the pictures we got from our ultrasound. Have fun!

Here are his "super long legs"! ^
His hand on his neck... you can see the little fingers!
This one is kind of a blurry one. Sorry.
I think he was kicking in this one, so you can see the blurs of his legs.
It's a boy!
Him playing with his umbilical cord... he was doing that the whole time.
If you look closely, his left hand is grasping his umbilical cord!
He's kind of smiling in this one!
Where the yellow box is, that's his heart, and the squiggly lines is his heartbeat.
Another "It's a boy!" picture. :)
