Houston- We Have a Heartbeat

We had our first ultrasound yesterday and things look GREAT! Baby is growing with a heartrate of 175 bpm (which the doc says is super strong)! We are measuring right on schedule at 8 weeks and 3 days, confirming our due date of October 18, 2009.

Here is the first ultrasound picture. The small circle on the left is the yolk sac, feeding the baby until the placenta is formed (You might know this, but it's all new to me). Then the head is towards the bottom/left and the feet are at the top/ right.



The second picture you can see the little heart beating (it has parentheses around it) and we could see it pumping yesterday. It was so cool- Yes, I cried.



So this is really all happening, and we couldn't be more thrilled!
