Yes, there was an ultrasound previously. When we first went in they had us take a pregnancy test, and then they told us we were pregnant (like we didn't already know)... Well, my hormone levels were higher then they were expecting so they had us come in for an earlier than normal ultrasound because they thought we were expecting twins. We are not, however we had this little image to hold onto for a couple of months to get us excited. Don't worry about offending anyone, it does in fact look like a peanut.
