Got to See Figlet!

This week I had a Dr. appointment in the afternoon.  I really had no idea what they were going to do as my first appointment just determined that I was indeed pregnant and the second one was my first prenatal appointment.  Both times I did get to see pictures of the baby, though they were tiny and really just a small dot.  The first picture the baby was only 2 millimeters!!  That's the size of an apple seed!  But what was so amazing to me was that the baby already had a heart beat!  Since the beginning of this pregnancy I have been amazed at God's creation and His detail of knitting us together in the womb. 

So anyway, I wasn't expecting to get to see the baby again, but maybe just hear a heartbeat, but she did bring the machine in and we got to see Figlet.  And this time it actually looks like a baby!!!  We were able to see the head (which did look a little like an alien with the eye sockets!) the body, the heart beating and the hands and feet.  Figlet was even moving his/her hands and it looked like he/she was waving!  Sooooooooooo neat!  I was sad Joey didn't get to go with me this time and see our little one, but I was glad my mother in law was there to see her little grandbaby!

Here is a picture of my belly as of last week at just over 13 weeks.  I will work on trying to get  picture of the ultrasound/sonogram (what's the difference?) up too, but not really sure how to do that.  Our next appointment at the beginning of September will determine if we are having a boy or a girl, or as Joey says, a Figlina or a Figster!!!
