Our first Doctor appointment went well-- I am 7.5 weeks along! After the exam, Dr. Sigman sent us over to get a sonogram to see if everything was happening as it should. We got to see the heart beating at 151 bpm and the baby measures 11.5 mm (1/2 in). We were happy to know there is only one in there (the blob below the baby is what is sustaining the baby until the placenta is fully formed at week 12-- also the reason for my morning sickness). Amazing something so small is growing at the rates we are reading about. The heart and kidneys are already formed and the arms and legs develop in the next few days. It was so fun to tell family and hear the excitment that this baby will bring to our lives and theirs! Brent's mom cried, my mom squeeled and we made my dad's day, week, month, year! Melody is already sending magazienes about pregnancy to help me out! It was hard to keep this a secret, so we are glad to finally tell our family.
