First Ultrasound

Today was Mandy's first ultrasound, and the first time that we were able to see our baby-to-be. The highlight was hearing baby's heartbeat, which was even and strong. The wave of emotion that came over us when we first heard that was something else - it made things seem both real and beautiful. The ultrasound technician told us that we had a particularly active baby, which led to our first parental flush of pride.
