We got a heartbeat!


So I had an ultrasound done last Friday at 7 weeks pregnant to look for the baby's heartbeat. I had a slight concern about the pregnancy and haven't had my first official OB/GYN appointment, so my Dr. sent me to have the ultrasound done because, although she was confident that everything was fine, she wanted to make sure there was cardiac activity. Well, thank God, we got to see a very strong heartbeat and got a great picture of the baby, which right now looks like a little bean. In the picture you can see the arms and legs which are starting to form (the little circles on the top and bottom of the bean are the arms, and the little flipper-like part on the one end are the feet). Amazing! So far, everything looks great and the baby is growing right on schedule. So for now, some of my fears have been put to rest and I can take a deep breath and relax (a little).
