First Picture!

The ultrasound was just amazing.

The baby is measuring RIGHT on target according to my dates. They are saying my due date is May 14th, but I think that will change at the 20 week ultrasound. (I still say it's about 5-6 days later) The little heart was visible immediately and was beating at 160 beats a minute.

Without further ado...



I realize it's hard to make anything out... but the bean-shaped thing farther to the right is the baby. You can see a profile and some little arm or leg buds sticking out! The round thing attached to the baby is, in fact, NOT a droopy head (that's what I thought)... it's the yolk sac.

And I don't know why my uterus is shaped like an ear. But maybe it had something to do with my overfull bladder that was about ready to explode?

Hooray!!! Go baby!
 
YAY! Erin that is just so great. I'm so happy for you!
 
Congratulations on a healthy heartbeat!! I know you were happy to see it. I thought that was the head, too...thanks for telling me. 160...that's what Laney's was the first time...and she was a GIRL!
 
...actually, Diana said that (not Laney...she's sleeping).
 
LOL, Diana! Well, I don't put any credence in the heartrate/sex prediction. Ben's was ALWAYS high and it turned out it was just because he NEVER STOPPED MOVING. (still hasn't!)
 
YAY!!!! that picture is just beautiful! BEAUTIFUL!!! I bet you are so relieved!!
 
Hi Baby! Keep growing!
 
Hooray baby human too! You grow bean!
 
Yay! But how did you surpass me now on the due date?!?! :-)

Glad to see the little bean is doing well in your ear-shaped uterus. :-)
 
I'm so happy for you. Glad it all went well.
 
I'm so happy for you! All four of you. :-)
