Ultrasound part duex!!

Monday night while Thea and her mom were making salad rolls they had a little conversation that went something like this:
"When is the baby due?"
"Not sure yet, we'll find that out Wednesday"
"Don't you know when you got pregnant?"
"No, I'm not sure exactly when."
"How can you not know when you got pregnant!"

Thea did not respond, but thought to herself, "Damn, it's not like we do it once a month and then wait to see if we get pregnant!"

Since then I've wondered if Thea's mom knows the exact date both Thea and Peter were conceived. It's not like I've been thinking about it all the time, but here and there it's popped in my head.

Yesterday Thea and I went in for the "internal" ultrasound, HOLY CRAP this was an experience. Remember when we were kids and your parents constantly say, "You only hear what you want!" Well, I saw what I wanted to see. So what if the sex of the baby won't be "determined" for a while, I swore there was an extra little limb (wink wink). Even if that "little" limb doesn't grow, who cares! I'm still the most excited I've ever been.

The image of the baby's face was super crazy!!! The baby's eyes took up half the head, the nurse assured us everything was normal and babies grow into their eyes. Just after we saw our baby's face, Thea noticed the baby's ears and said "Oh my god, those ears are huge!" and we laughed nervously together. A big sigh of relief came when the nurse showed us what we thought were ears were actually little hands. During the entire ultrasound both Thea and I were amazed that we made this little person and can't wait to meet him or her.

At the end of the ultrasound the nurse told us we were exactly 10 weeks along with a due date of November 19th. If by some chance we have the baby on my mom's birthday (Nov 11), my mom would fall apart. She'd be so ecstatic she'd probably die from dehydration after crying so much. On a different note, the next time Thea's mom asks her, "When was the baby conceived?" Thea can honestly say either February 11th or 12th.

Once we're around a scanner the ultrasound pictures will be up.
