Luke and I went to Tripler on Wednesday for our first appointment with the OB clinic. We met with an awesome nurse practitioner who was a wealth of information and encouragement, and she even offered to do an ultrasound so Luke could have a picture to take with him on deployment! Obviously he was thrilled. We got to see the baby wiggle his/her little arms and legs, which was amazing. I wasn't expecting to see baby move, so this was really exciting. I have been giving Luke a hard time since then about this being our first clue that the baby is a girl. Considering the baby waved around like a crazy person after being woken up by the ultrasound, I told Luke this was a sign that baby has one of my characteristics. All in jest of course :) We also got to hear the heartbeat, and it was super strong. My next appointment will be with the midwives in 4 weeks! Like the first ultrasound we had, baby was measuring 6 days behind the estimated due date the providers have in my file (June 27), so I am sticking with the due date of July 3, 2014. Maybe we'll have a little Independence Day baby!
