Jerry, Rachel, & then some: 12 Week Ultrasound

This afternoon Jerry and I ventured to the doctor's office for our 12 week ultrasound. We were very anxious to hear that everything was developing well and also excited to see our baby actually look like a baby!
The entire experience was great! The first moment I saw our baby on the screen moving and wiggling, I chuckled out loud (causing the picture to move and wiggle more!). It was just so neat to see! The ultrasound technician tried to get some good pictures, but she said the baby was really cozying up in there. At one point, I said, "It looks like it's using my uterus as a recliner!" because sure enough, the baby was sprawled out, just relaxing! It cracked us up! The technician said the baby was being very calm. We also were able to hear the heartbeat today! It was only 1 more beat per min. than last time. We heard it at 168 bpm.

I posted pictures below from the ultrasound. Our next ultrasound is at 20 weeks, and we should be able to find out the sex then! We are so excited to share these pictures of our little miracle! (You should be able to click them to make them bigger!)
