19.5 Week Ultrasound Pics- 5/31/11

Sonograms

This is our first sonogram at 5 weeks.

These 2 are at 9 weeks.

Here we are at 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Some days I'm feeling ok, and others like today, I'm not. I came home from work last night and went straight to the bathroom and threw up. Then I took today off to recuperate a little.

I've finally got the sonogram pictures from our ultrasounds on the computer so I wanted to put those up too.

This is at 5 weeks and 3 days, just after we found out we were pregnant. They wanted to do an early pregnancy ultrasound to check for multiples and luckily we aren't having twins! Just one baby for us!


These two are at 9 weeks and 4 days. It is starting to look like a baby.



In this one you can see it's little arm. We saw it moving and the ultrasound guy, Paul, said it was waving for mommy and daddy!

Pregnant

2 weeks ago today, we did artificial insemination with a sperm donor. They told us to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks. So we did this morning and we're pregnant! That was our first try with insemination.

We're so excited. We went and bought our first baby outfit. It is yellow with duckies! We also called the reproductive care center that we have been working with and they scheduled us for an early pregnancy ultrasound on January 21. We will find out how many that day. Since we used a fertility drug, they want to know early on how many and to make sure that they didn't stop in the fallopian tubes. Keep your fingers crossed for only one!

San Diego Wild Animal Park

On Tuesday, we went to the Wild Animal park. It kind of has an African Safari theme. It was really neat, but we didn't get to spend all day exploring.

This is called a Dic Dic. He had a funny mohawk.

This was on the Safari tour. There are the big white rhinos. There heads weigh almost a ton I think.

They also had a giant hot air balloon, but we never got a chance to go up in it.

The lion's favorite place to sleep was on top of the Land Rover.

Here are the gorillas. We got a couple of them fighting on video.

Rich has tiny, tiny hands. :)

...and tiny, tiny feet.

There was a pregnant elephant that gave birth that day. We didn't see it, of course.

That afternoon, we went to the beach. It was still kind of chilly, but it was warm enough that we enjoyed ourselves.

Rich was here!

Love, Love

SeaWorld

On Wednesday, we went to SeaWorld. I have never been, but Rich has, so he was all excited to show me around.

We got to pet the Bat Rays.

From the look on my face, you can tell that they were really gross and slimy feeling.

This was one of the sea otters. It was eating.

We went to see the Dolphin show. We sat up high so I wouldn't get wet. They were really cute.

This one was the Seal's shows. The little sea otter was carrying a can of pepsi.

Here 'mingo, 'mingo, 'mingo.

We also got to hold starfish.

And we went on a backstage tour. We got to pet the dolphins and see them up close. We also got to feed them. One of them had her baby with her, I didn't get a picture, but it was so cute.

Eww, gross. Squid. That's what we fed to the moray eels.

We also got to throw lettuce to the sea turtles. They're endangered so we couldn't get any closer to them.

We saw the Shamu Believe show. Kind of neat. Rich likes the dolphin show better though.

This was a Shamu cookie that we got with lunch.

Shark Encounter. They wouldn't sit still so this is the only good picture I got.

Barbara Manatee. They have several rescued manatees.

Yay for cute penguins.
