Ultrasound

DolphinFan1 · 06-18-2003, 08:38 PM

My wife had her 1st ultrasound today. She is about 9 weeks pregnant. My baby is so little, but it was so cool. The doctor showed us the baby's heartbeat. This will be my 1st child so I am a little excited.

Congrats!

Parenthood is awesome. Look forward to the 2s and 3s. Best time of my life.

Congratulations Dad! Welcome to the ranks of fatherhood. Being a father has now become your most important role. No longer are your interests the primary concern- you have a beautiful child to love and protect. I think you will find it to be the most rewarding experience of your life.

I just found out that I will be a father for the third time. Although I hope first and foremost for a healthy child, I yearn for a baby girl. My two boys (8 and 2) are wonderful, but my family won't feel complete until we have a girl. Wouldn't surprise me if that means I will end up with something like 8 kids- 7 boys and 1 girl.

Thanks guys. It was something to see how tiny my baby is. My wife wants a girl and I want a boy. But like you said as long as our baby's healthy.

Babies are great until you're trying to rehearse with a band for the first time in six years and your wife calls you because the little bugger's been screaming in her face for an hour and a half so you have to leave and go home like the emasculated father that you are.

sorry... having a bad night.

welcome to fatherhood, and congratulations!

Oh, and congrats Dolphinfan. My wife and I had our first last October, and this little girl is truly a tremendous miracle. ...except when she's screaming - then she's just a really small miracle

Congratz DolphinFan!!! Gee, 9 weeks, I bet he/she must very tiny.

We have one (already 6 y.o.) with another one on the way, due for beginning of 2004 (13 weeks pregnant) and I can't remember when we had the first ultrasound but my wife is telling me it's around week 18 or so. Even then, I thought he was amazingly tiny, so I must think that at 9 weeks, he must be amazingly small...

Congrats again, and as wbonnell said, from now on, it's children first, but oh boy how much they give back to you, amazing. Best of luck with the pregnancy!

I remember very well hearing Graham's heartbeat for the first time (at our hospital, this is done quite a qhile before the ultrasound).

it was an amazing moment, and I couldn't hold back the tears. To imagine that little life growing inside my wife's belly was simply astounding to me.
