Sonogram

On Monday, after we left the kids off (about 7:20am) with Mike's mom--thank you, Mom, Mike and I had a breakfast date before going to our sonogram. It was nice to be together without distractions while we sat and ate. I had already downed my necessary water. By the time we were walking to the car, I was afraid I would need to sneeze. I knew if that happened, I'd have a problem since I was so full of water. Mike led me to the car so I didn't have to look up and chance having to sneeze from the bright sun. Anyway, we made it to the appt and I couldn't sit all the way back in my chair, but I was able to read through my devotional I had brought along. Mike had brought Wild at Heart to read while he waited. My name was called pretty quickly and the technician, Marcia, was gracious enough to only do a small portion of the sonogram before letting me use the restroom. I thanked her. It was so neat when Mike got to come in and we both got to see the baby moving around and all his/her parts. The technician kindly avoided the certain area since I had told her we didn't want to find out the sex. We got to see and hear the heartbeat. Pretty amazing. She gave us two pictures to take home. We're so proud of the new little Hekman God has brought into our lives!
