These are all of our sonograms from the very beginning.
Sorry this has taken so long guys!
This first picture was done on 1-8-2008.
We were only five or six weeks at that point and couldn't see much of anything.
All we could see was the "sac" and this little dot resting inside. It was from this first encounter that we started referring to the baby as "Baby Dot".
Because the first sono was so hard to see the doctor had us come back on 1-22-2008 to do the official confirmation. At this point we got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat.
It was the most amazing feeling. All I could do was cry. There really are no words to describe the feeling the first time you hear that sound!
These next prints were of our appointment on 4-28-2008. They are listed in the order they were shot. The reason I specify that is because the doctor said that before determining the sex he starts from the top and works his way down. He checks everything else out first to make sure the baby is developing okay.
The moment the paddle hit my belly, this is what we saw. A full moon!
Needless to say we got to see the baby's sex before anything else. I had my mom on the phone so she could hear everything going on. She was just as shocked as we were. Here's her reaction: "What! Are you sure?!?!"
The doctor got a good laugh! While Michael and I were giving each other high-fives.
Someone at work suggested I have a coke before my appointment so I could see some activity. I loaded up on candy apple rings and a cherry coke. The doctor had to wake the baby up by pushing on my belly! Once he got him moving I got a swift kick in response.
Here's his foot!
We then checked out all the major organs and saw that everything looks great. We saw the kidneys, heart and the umbilical cord that goes up through the body. The doctor tried to get a face shot. He was so snuggled in that he couldn't get him to cheese for the camera. But he did show us his ear!
Towards the end of the appointment I started asking the doctor lots of questions and just going back over a few things. Michael asked one last time, "So everything looks good?"
The baby gave us the thumbs up.

What a treat to see James Daniel's first photographs! And I have a Precious Moments figurine just waiting for you..........Baby's First Photograph. Obviously, the figurine is meant for when he gets taken to a studio for his first, but hey! In my book, what better studio than safe and sound snuggled in mommy's tummy. Next time I see you, I'll give it to you! So glad to hear that he's doing so well. Can't wait to meet him face to face and give him smooches!
