Well we had the ultrasound this morning and it was so awesome! It was great to see the little baby. We could see him (yes HIM!) squirming around and making kicking and punching motions. Especially when the doctor was poking him to get him to move around a little bit. WOW!
At first it was a bit disorienting trying to figure out what we were looking at. I am so glad that the doctor knew what he was doing- he pointed out the head, hands, belly, legs, etc. Then we caught on that we were looking from the top down. The doctor moved the probe thingy to the side and then we could tell that we were seeing the baby from the side.
We went through and looked at all the important stuff- brain, heart, kidneys, diaphragm. We even saw the little bladder. And the most important part- we found out we were having a little boy! That was the only thing that we didn't need the doctor to explain to us (we're still laughing a little about that)... it was very obviously a little boy. :) We had given baby a pep talk before the visit and said that it needed to not be shy- and he wasn't!
It was amazing to find out that we were having a baby, and then to see it for the first time. And then everytime we heard the heartbeat was just the most wonderful noise ever. But to know that we're going to be having a little soon in just a few months... wow, it just blows my mind. :)
And just some pictures for you guys. We have a DVD but I'm not uploading it.
This is baby all curled up (sorry not better quality). The head is the round thing on the bottom, left side. You can see the spinal column and his little legs tucked in above the body. 
And here he is doing bicycle kicks or somersaults. You can see his legs and feet stretched out above him.

(hands are up by his head so you can't see his arms or hands).
