Baby's First Picture

We had our first ultrasound today. We got our first look at our baby. It was so tiny and mostly looked like a little blob. But you could see and hear the heart beat. That was neat. It was fast. It was 162 beats per minute (which is normal). They measured the crown-rump length (the length from head to tail) and estimated my due date at September 5th. I feel better knowing everything looks normal- the little heart beat is in the right place. But seriously, it's such a tiny little thing to be causing all that fatigue and nausea.

Afterward I was teasing Brian that he is a blob-daddy. He told me that he thinks the baby is a girl. Just a feeling he says. We'll have to wait and see if he's right. We made the appointment for our next ultrasound, 4/9/10. This is the big one where we get to see all the little parts and maybe the sex of the baby.
