13 Weeks-Our first Ultrasound

We finally got to see our little one on May 27th!
We had our first ultrasound appointment and was only expecting to see a little "bean" image.
It was amazing when the ultrasound tech placed the wand on my stomach, and up popped a little baby on the screen! Scott and I just stared in awe at the screen, watching our baby move his/or her little arms and legs all around. When the tech tried to get the heartbeat, the baby kept moving around and it took her a few times to finally hear it. The heart rate was 165, which is in the healthy/normal range.
The tech also did the measurements of the baby and estimated the baby weighed 3 oz. and was measuring about 5 days bigger!
We thank God for our little blessing, and can't wait until our next ultrasound appointment :).

Check out baby Struckel! The first 3 pictures are with the 4D ultrasound, and the last with 2D.
The first picture looks like the baby is flexing its muscles ;).
The next two has the baby's arm up around its face.
The last is a side profile of the baby.
