Our First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound on Monday December 6, 2010.  Before everything started, we were so nervous and excited to find out whether or not everything looked healthy!  Marc even got a little light headed as he stood next to me waiting to see the first images of our baby.  Turns out our little "peach" is very healthy and everything looked really good.  S/he is measuring 5" from head to toe and was bouncing around like crazy.  It was so strange seeing the activity and feeling nothing.  I can't wait to start feeling the movements!
We will have another ultrasound at 20 weeks to determine the gender and do another check of the health.  We have decided to find out the gender of our baby.  We agree that either way it's going to be a surprise - either at 20 weeks or 40!  This way we can prepare ourselves and the nursery for our little one.
We have started telling more of our friends now that we have gotten a healthy report and I've made it through the first trimester. 
I'm really looking forward to not feeling as nauseous and to getting some energy back!  I'm sure Marc won't mind having his wife awake after 7 p.m. each night, rather than sleeping on the couch next to him!!  :)
