It was some time ago now that I had my "First Look" ultrasound. I didn't want to give an update until I received all of the results and that didn't happen until mid-week last week. The good news is that I saw little baby and he/she is doing great. They were moving around and had the hands in the face a lot. I got some great shots of profile and little feet. It was wonderful.
