2nd ultrasound- Houston- we have a heartbeat!!! :) 6 weeks



Hello family and friends!   Today was a very exciting day.  Eric, my mom, and I gathered excitedly in the ultrasound room and we all saw a heart beating.  The baby's heart beat was at 125, which is perfectly healthy (want it to be above 100).  I'm attaching pictures of our 2nd ultrasound.  Found out today I'm actually only 6 weeks and 2 days along.  I ovulated a week later than I thought I did, which is apparently very common.  So revised estimated stats....

Current estimated gestational age: 6 weeks, 2 days 

Size of baby:  Lentil  (still)

CRL (crown rump length): 0.65 cm

Estimated due date:  March 8, 2011


Tootles!

Our first ultrasound- 5 weeks




Had our first doctor's appointment today!  Everything went swell.  They drew 4 tubes of blood for all of the standard prenatal testing and did a pelvic exam (won't go into too many details on that).  I attached our first ultrasound.  You can't see much at this point.... you can see the amniotic sac and the yolk sac so far... that's about it.  I'm scheduled for another ultrasound a week from today.  Doc thinks we may be able to see more... and see the heartbeat at that point.  It's truly amazing.  

Current estimated gestational age (should know for sure in a couple of weeks): 5 weeks, 2 days

Current size comparison:  Sesame seed


Love you all!
