Baby's First Picture

Today was amazing. We had our first ultrasound done to determine just how far along I am in this pregnancy. The official verdict is 8.5 weeks. That lines up more with my calculations than what the doctor had told us previously.

We got to see the baby and see and listen to its extremely rapid heart beat. It was very cool. It beat at 162 beats per minute which I am told is normal for something that small. It is about 2 centimeters in length and you can already see the arms and legs in the picture and the start of the eye if you look closely.

I was waiting for this to feel real as I haven't really felt pregnant yet, with no morning sickness or anything. This did the trick. I think it's as real as it's going to be until there is either movement felt or it decides it is time to come out to join us.
