There is really a baby in there!

Last Wednesday John, my mom and I all headed back to the doctor for my 12 week checkup and first ultrasound. Despite what the books will tell you, at our first check up all they did was a urine test, blood test and pelvic exam so we were just hoping there was really something in there! Seeing the ultrasound for the first time was the most exciting thing I have seen. Everyone had said you really dont know what you are looking at and John's dad went as far as to say that John looked like scrambled eggs during his ultrasound. This could not have been further from our experience...the second they put wand on my stomach a baby popped up on the screen! During the whole process I was laughing because it was so funny to think there was really this little person moving around in there. After the ultrasound we had the doppler with Dr. Puritz and the heartbeat was so loud and strong! So I just wanted to report that so far all is well with Baby Watson. I have my next appointment in 3 weeks but I don't think we get to do anything exciting. I am including some pictures of the ultrasound, I have to say I was disappointed because none of the pictures were as good as what we saw :)

John thinks the baby has already has a potbelly...like mother like child I guess!
