We have a Heartbeat!

I am sure you can tell from the crystal clear ultrasound image that there is a small child in my uterus. From those who cant see I will attempt to break it down for you. On the main screen is my gestational sac like last week (black blob) and snuggled in on the left side of the black blob is a slightly larger than last week gray blob. Now if you were present for the ultrasound which I was and Dan just made it there by minutes after driving across town to the wrong clinic you would have seen the gray blob dancing all over showing off its 127 bpm heart rate. (bpm = beats per minute). On the right side of the picture is a zoomed in version so he could measure, he measures 0.59cm which is perfect for a 6 week 5 day ultrasound. The very bottom it says I measure 6 weeks 3 days plus or minus 2 days with a due date of 5/1/09 based on that measurement.

Needless to say, we are all pretty happy here. Next ultrasound is in 2 weeks, until then keep the good thoughts and baby dust heading my way!
