It's a boy....or a girl.

Up until two weeks ago I had never had an ultrasound, I'd never been near an ultrasound machine. I'd only ever seen a baby this way in images online or in images that friends had.  I can honestly say it was an experience for the books.

Since I first found out that we were expecting, I haven't had any feeling of this not being real, I knew I was pregnant from the start.  However, I did keep thinking, what if we do this ultrasound and there is really nothing in there?  What if nothing shows up on that screen?  I didn't know what expect when Mark and I first went in that room and I laid back in that chair. Then all of the sudden there Baby Brown was, up on a screen right in front of us and all expectations went right out the door.  My eyes instantly locked on that little beating heart.  I figured we would both be emotional, but instead I think we were too in awe at seeing our baby for the first time. 

Everything looks normal and it appears that we have a healthy little boy.  Well, at least that is what our ultrasound technician guessed, a boy.  I'm not buying it yet. We were only at the 13 week mark so it was too early to tell.  I will leave you with the pictures and you can decide for yourself. 



Here is the picture that made them guess boy.
 They told us if that one little "part" was turned more downward that
they would've guessed girl instead. 

Baby's Profile.  He or She was being very cooperative for the tech.

 

Our little alien face.....is it rude to talk about our child like that????


 

We won't find out for a few more weeks if it is a boy or a girl for sure.  Mark's been doing his "research" though and he's pretty convinced that what the ultrasound tech told us is pretty accurate.  I guess we will see!!!
