So as most of you know by now Ashley is pregnant. Yes I know she finally broke me down. Depending on who you ask she is 12-13 weeks along (the Dr. says 12 but Ashley says 13). Anyway we had our first ultra-sound yesterday and it was really cool. It was at the Provo Hospital (the old building Mom so I guess your old stomping grounds).
We walked into the room and the lights were off except for two soft mood lights. The T.V. was on and I instantly made a joke about how we needed some Marvin Gaye playing softly in the background and some candles, and I got NOTHING from the Nurse... I don't even think she looked at me. So the boring, dry nurse started the ultra-sound and was just cruising along doing her thing taking weird measurements of Ashley's insides. I then made a joke about how I thought I saw the cheeseburger Ashley had for lunch, and again NOTHING!!! I mean I don't consider myself Chris Rock or anything but COMMON ON!
So after the robot nurse finished everything she needed, she then started to focus on the baby. That's when it got serious, because the possibility of Ashley being one of those women who wants a baby so bad that they force their body to create all the signs of being pregnant went out the door.
But it was way cool because we got to see some really good shots of the baby. And he/she is quiet active! It was bouncing around, kicking its legs, moving its arms, and I think I even saw a few dance moves in there. The nurse then started to get these weird views which made us see the babies skeleton and I made a comment of how our baby looked like a cyborg T2000 from Terminator after its face melted off and again NOTHING!! So that was my last attempt.
So she took a couple snap shots of the baby and printed them out for us and this is what we got to take home.
Afterwords the the Dr. came in and she was awesome. She was sarcastic, witty, and cracking jokes, so I really liked her. We also get to do a super tech ultra sound at week 20 so we should have some more cool pictures to post then. And that is when we get to find out what we are having!
I have added a new question to our blog. Please fill that out so we can see what everyone thinks we will have.
So far Ashley as been feeling pretty good and hasn't been crazy sick so that is really good. Although she sleeps like every second she isn't at work I think. But other than that we are doing great and really excited to have a Ryan Jr. soon.
Feel free to leave us comments!
