Reality


Well, reality has set in, and even though I have heard the heart beat the last 2 months, the fact that we could actually see the baby today was surreal.

Everything measured out and looked good. Where I am 18 weeks and 5 days, I was actually measuring 19 weeks and 1 day. We saw the fingers and toes, 4 chambers of the heart, ribs, and face. The technician went to show us the lens to the eyes and held the wand on it's face so we could just look at it. Throughout the whole ultrasound the baby was moving around, especially it's arms and legs, well when she held the wand over its face, it decided to not perform for us, it was rather funny actually. We did see it's lips move, and the tech told us it was drinking. This was such an awesome experience to see such an amazing creation that God has given. And, no, we didn't find out what it is, we won't find out until July 3rd (or whenever baby Caruso decides to make it's appearance into the world).

We have started on the nursery, the bedding we got is an "Under the Sea" theme and the room has been painted a green to go with the bedding. Mike and Billy went to get the crib tonight.

The excitement is setting in more and more every day!

Love to all, hope to hear from you all soon! Here are some pictures from the ultrasound, sorry they are kind of crooked.
