Baby's First Picture

We got our first ultrasound today! YAH!!! We saw one little heartbeat, which is exactly what we wanted. It made all these days of sickness seem worth is seeing that little blinking spot on the screen. There is nothing like that feeling, my first connection with my baby. The heart was beating 178 beats per minute, which is high but apparently at 9 weeks the heart averages at 175 and then drops.

The baby is right on track in size so they are sticking with the due date of June 12, 2012...yes that is Brady's birthday as well. For the first time, she showed some discord when talking about the baby. She doesn't want to share her birthday. She said it is okay if the baby is born on the 11th or the 13th, just not the 12th. I said I will try my hardest to make that happen.
