So we got our first image yesterday of Pip and it looks great. You can see the feet, hands, spine and almost the nose! The ultrasound went very well, all necessary measurements were taken and Pip is bigger than first expected, now measuring almost three inches. There was a lot of dancing around in there but finally settled down enough to get all the necessary information.
Rob was invited in once the tech had finished her job and we both got to see the wee one, it was pretty neat to say the least. She then offered if we wanted to see a 3D image so we said sure. To be honest, kinda creepy! It totally looked like an alien staring back at us so I think we will stick to the old school ultrasound.
Tonight we are meeting with my sis and brother and spilling the news to them. Looking forward to sharing the surprise and finally letting everyone else know what is going on.
More updates to follow, this was a quick one as I know that the parents were keen on seeing the scan!
Hi Sherri;

What an exciting time for your family! I remember our first 3D ultrasound at 15 weeks when we found out the sex of our baby boy -- he totally looked like an alien too! Don't be afraid to get another one later on in your pregnancy around 32 weeks though -- seeing a chubby, healthy baby (who actually looks like a baby) living inside of you is so thrilling! Think you're emotional now? Wait till you see that. It's amazing! Congratulations! Looking forward to following along your pregnancy journey and beyond :)
