We got to see our child for the first time today, and hear his/her heartbeat!

Baby's heartbeat

Baby's heartbeat

Good News:

  • Good heartrate: smack dab in the middle of normal
  • Right on track for size
  • There’s only one (phew)
  • Everything’s (and everyone) is in the right place and orientation

Bad News:

  • Nothing really.

Other News:

  • Everything’s too microscopic to tell boy/girl yet. (The doc gave us a picture of what is there so far so we could hypothesize, however we are not the kind of people that would put a picture like that of our child on the internet.)
  • It looks…well…um…kind of otherworldly right now.
They get cuter as they get bigger I hear.

    Congrats! We saw ours around seven weeks, because we had no idea how far along I was. I’d bet yours is already a whole lot cuter than mine was.

    I am sure this alien will shape up before Independence Day, but for me this is out of this world. Isn’t it wonderful. It really doesn’t matter if it is a girl or a boy. I just want to love it. Congratulations you two.
