Q: First Ultrasound

Just came back from my first ultrasound!! It was so cute it looked like the baby was dancing when we first started looking at it. Then the doctor asked me to go empty my bladder. When I came back the baby had fallen asleep. The doctor needed the baby to wake up so he could continue checking things out. So he kept pressing on my belly with his hands (the motion was like he was bouncing his hands on my belly) to wake up the baby. After 5 minutes the baby jumped up and woke up. It was so cool :) I didn't think we would see so much since i'm only at 13 weeks.

i know the u/s is soo cool. I posted my 13 week u/s pic, and I had one done at 6 weeks and one at about 9 weeks and they looked like blobs. This one is much better!
