Mommy...Baby is DANCING!!!!

I got a call the other day from McKay Dee Hospital and they wanted to know if I would allow them to screen my cervix for a study they are doing regarding shortened cervix's and preterm labor. I figured...free ultrasound...sure!!! So...that is what we did this afternoon. Mark was at work (he will go to my OB appt. next week with me) but I thought Tyce might like to see his baby on the T.V. He was so excited!

So, we get to the hospital and he is telling everyone in the office that he gets to see the baby in mommy's tummy. We get in the room and he sits so quietly and still just waiting to see his baby on the T.V. The tech made a comment about that if I wanted, she could tell me the baby's gender. I of course responded that I was not far enough along yet to find out. She looked kind of puzzled and asked how far along I was. So I told her that I was 10 1/2 weeks. Turns out that this study is for women who are 15-20 weeks. So, she was going to NOT do the ultrasound.

I looked over at Tyce and he is still just sitting quietly, staring at the T.V. Waiting to see his baby. I looked back at the tech and told her that this is just going to break his heart and he was going to be so sad. She took one look at him and said...okay, I'll take a quick look but don't tell anyone!!!! OKAY!!

So, here comes Tyce's baby on the T.V. and he is sooooooooo excited. We saw the baby, heard the heartbeat...which is 167 bpm by the way!! Then, when she got a good picture, she left the wand there for a minute and this baby was totally DANCING!!! And Tyce noticed it. He says..."baby dancing mommy"!! He/She was waving arms, wiggling hips, moving lets, etc. He/She was all over the place!!! It was amazing. My last ultrasound was 3 1/2 weeks ago and this baby has gone from looking like a little peanut to actually looking like a baby. It is amazing!

I can't wait for Mark to see this baby "move and groove next week"!!!
