We did the advanced ultrasound today where they check for any problems and to make sure the baby has all it's fingers, toes, organs, as well as, measuring the baby, etc.
Baby is measuring 18 Weeks and 6 Days, the heartbeat was 150bpm, baby now weighs 8 ounces, and the planned due date is October 1st.
If we had wanted to, we could have found out the sex of the baby. The tech was surprised to hear that we were waiting. So, when she needed to check things where we might see something we didn't want to see, she let us know to turn our heads. I asked her after she told us to turn away, for the second time, if she knew what we were having. She initially said she was trying to not find out so she didn't slip up. However, immediately after that, she saw. Adam and I both had the same thoughts..."someone knows exactly what we're having...we could know right now..." But, we decided to stand firm with our decision and we will be surprised like the rest of you come October.
We did get to see Baby Norwood move. He or she had their arms and hands up close to their face. We got to see Baby Norwood move his/her arms around. The tech tried to get a good profile picture of the baby, but Baby Norwood was not being very cooperative. We tried our best...I'm not sure who's profile the baby has yet..maybe Adam's...seems to not have much of a chin. =) She did get a picture straight on of the face, but it looks like an alien to me. I told Adam that the baby was taking after him. Hehehe! =)
Pretty amazing that this is our baby! Even after looking at the pictures and seeing it move, it's hard to believe that in a few months we will be able to see this baby, hold this baby, know this baby, and call it our very own.

Thanks for the update Hayden and Adam. Sure is an exciting time!
For some reason I think it's going to be a boy and to me he already looks like Adam! Don't you think so too? (ha;) (now watch, it will be a petite little baby girl!)
